Logically MisconstruedA Poem by MercelusThe darkest days provide the most enlightenment
Blue eyes brimming with blasphemy
Screaming with agony Pained by abandonment The creatures in the night, Haunt my dreams And the vultures circle above The blistering heat of the sun Amplified the weight of my decisions Burdened all upon my shoulders The nights grow colder And the moon glows an eerie red Anger courses though my veins Hatred clouding my mind Here we stand on a burial ground Tormented by the fallen Those we pledged to protect To hold our arms high, and keep our backs straight Yet here we lay in graves we dug ourselves we shed our tears like snakes shed skin waiting to strike to inflict the same pain we have endured a vicious cycle of remorse and agony safely huddled in the womb we are born into soiled air The dark energy of the world Filled with corruption Where chaos is the only home We will ever know Happiness is our blind Covering our eyes from reality In our ignorance, We find our bliss Eventually the blind will be lifted Though painful We learn through our trials The bloodshed of the mind From the demons that torment us, The demeanor we hold, Wisdom and maturity gained All come from the despair set upon us I have found comfort in suffering Craving its icy touch and unquenchable thirst for more As it has always made me stronger There is a cost though Finding no comfort in love Unable to accept the ones around me Vacant of trust and emotion No hope for a better world The chaos and the pain They are all i will ever know, out of a certain ignorance of my own All these tired, strained eyes can see all this heart can feel, Is the darkness As it has become the light For it is all that is real, The only constant. © 2014 Mercelus |
