Narcissistic Cannibal

After all you've done to hurt me both inside and out... I hope you're happy. Based off of Korn's song "Narcissistic Cannibal". Check out Author's Note.

Korn 

"Narcissistic Cannibal"

(feat. Skrillex & Kill The Noise) 

"Don't wanna be sly and defile you

Desecrate my mind and rely on you

I just wanna break this crown

But it's hard when I'm so run down"

I'm battered and bruised

Exhausted; defeated 

But you can't see this 

You can't see anything beyond your poisonous "superiority"

"And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal!

Got to bring myself back from the dead!"

HOW?!

WHY?!

How could you be so selfish as my heart bleeds?!

Why does hurting me bring you such sick pleasure?!

I'm dying every second...

"Sometimes, I hate, the life, I made

Everything's wrong every time

Pushing on I can't escape

Everything that comes my way

Is haunting me taking its sweet time"

Why didn't I run or fight?

Why is everything falling apart?

I struggle onwards, screaming in pain, but you don't care

You're voice haunts me; I will always be nothing... 

"Holding on I'm lost in a haze

Fighting life to the end of my days..."

I'm trapped inside my mind

Everyday is a blur as I fight a battle no one can see

"Don't wanna be rude but I have to

Nothing's good about the hell you put me through

I just need to look around

See that life that has come unbound"

I don't care what you think

I'm done being a silent good little girl

Look all around you at this damage!

Is that empty bottle worth this hell you've heartlessly dragged me through?

"And you're so cynical, Narcissistic Cannibal

Got to bring myself back from the dead"

Sick and utterly selfish 

You've destroyed my heart. 

You've let your demons consume me. 

I'm grasping blindly to find my will...

"Sometimes, I hate, the life I made

Everything's wrong every time

Pushing on I can't escape

Everything that comes my way

Is haunting me taking its sweet time"

Tick-tock...

Tick-tock...

Let me go...

Just let me go...

"Holding on I'm lost in a haze

Fighting life to the end of my days..."

" Tick-tock...
Tick-tock...
Let me go...
Just let me go... "
You drop this dark poem into an even darker abyss of endless hate and frustration just at this line. I love how you combined the lyrics of the song with your poem. The fusion is wonderful that is to say your arrangement how it blends it. The words seem to creep into your soul. Fantastic!
Did you do the picture?
I feel bad for your dad. I'm hoping that some day things would lighten up for you and they'd be better.
Keep Writing!

Very original to put a piece of music to your own prose. Well written and emotional.

[Felicity's Eve]

Thank you. Adding the song made everything seem to just click into place. :)

[ashesonfire]

The title automatically caught my attention, because I love that song :D I love what you added to it, expressing yourself and showing your feelings through the sock. I really liked the "tick-tock, let me go" part. Good job!

[justjenn_2u]

Heartfelt and the tribute from Korn is quite admirable. My son showed me the meaning behind that band. Aside from that, you have a grasp on your word flow with personification meeting a poet's criteria. Good job.

[Felicity's Eve]

Thank you for your kind words. :)

[Shaun Payton]

It is true you own and owe yourself to always seek comfort.and counsel from those who truly love you. I wish you well Nora.

[Playing with Demons]

I love this! I love how you incorporated the lyrics into the poem. The emotion is obvious in this, it's very deep and almost earthquake like with it's power. Pieces like these give people hope to stand up to bullies of any kind.
Keep writing!
Cheerio!
sorry for your dad!

[Obscured by the Shadows]

That was very sad, but very meaningful. I like it very much. I am sorry for your dad though...

[Felicity's Eve]

Thanks. Things are getting progressively better. :)

[Obscured by the Shadows]

[Felicity's Eve]

Yeah. My mom sister and grandma are all I really need. :)

[Obscured by the Shadows]

Well I am glad you have someone to be with :)

[Mike Emil]

[Felicity's Eve]

Thank you. :)

[gombeggar]

interesting title...do u have the music planned out for this work? ...think u can dispose of the quotation marks

on a side note...ignore the ravings of others...words are painful but don't always mean a damnable thing in reality...look 2 god for truth

[Felicity's Eve]

Thanks. Faith has really helped me through this. :)

[gombeggar]

remember 2 keep that faith...and write down all your thoughts as time allows...u have a special talent...use it and don't let anyone say anything against it...paint your words down on paper and make your pictures for all 2 see

[Dark Rider]

I'm still sorry that you've had to put up with him for so long, but I'm glad that you no longer have to deal with him any more. Now you and your mother and sister can live better lives. :) Wonderful job. ^^

[Felicity's Eve]

Thanks. I'm glad, too. :)
