Jealousy

Crack my soul and what do you see?

Nothing but rusty cogs and faulty clockwork,

Flaw after flaw am I,

Nothing but putrid sins lie among my broken cogs,

Hatred and regret oozes from my heart,

Why must I suffer from my jealous demise.

Why can't I spread my wings and let my soul harmonise?

I am no fallen angel as I have surfaced from much deeper,

Why do I feel so dark?

My inner self terrified of the demons crawling within.

He begs for my soul to rest,

So he can be led,

Into the divine light.

'...have surfaced from much deeper...'
Depths of despair, fear of failure & demons, yet you intuitively understand hope & a sense of redemption, succinctly. ~ pat

Way to use harsh imagery to bring out the emotion, love it! "Nothing but putrid sins lie among my broken cogs" is by far my favorite line. You immediately get the reader in a dark place and self hatred. Great Work!!!
