Prison of Spite

The prison of my mind 
got me locked in insanity,
Solitary thoughts 
carving scars in my sanity.

A sick symmetry of misery 
mixed with glee,
I grin through the chaos 
while it chews through me.

I can’t break free 
chains fused into bone,
Demons on a leash, 
but I still sleep alone.

They whisper like prophets, 
preach death as the truth,
I bite back the urge 
just to prove I’m not loose.

I don’t want to lose, 
but I’m tired of war,
Every breath feels like 
I’ve fought it before.

Hope tastes like blood 
when it slips through my teeth,
I bury my prayers 
where the light won’t reach.

I walk through hell 
with my head held straight,
Spite in my veins, 
I refuse to break.

If I’m damned either way, 
I’ll claw, I’ll stay,
I’ll tear through the dark 
just to find my way.
