Different


I bathe in Ivory, below, beyond dilusion.
Embrace the darkness, I caress your confusion.
I once fell, as I am falling now...

Silence seeps through tormented winds,
Foolishly into the black storms.
I took your soul, in my own grasp.
I tore it apart delicately, and examined inside,
for it was filled with your ignorant emptiness...

I feel as though I could have flied,
I feel as though I've tried,
I feel as though I have nothing to hide,
I am me, stand by me or hate me because I am different,
hate me, love me, the insignificant
lies within you...

Decisions lie my wrists with incisions,
as the mass of my body lays wastedly on the floor.
Kick me, scathe me, mutilate me, do what you will,
but you will never tear apart the rage to kill.
You will never tear apart what was treasured inside,
what was so preciously kept, from the mind's own eye,
you will never make sense of what could've been me,
because I tried to love thee...

Run through me.
Envenom my adrenaline,
With the energy...

Fly through me.
Make my wings for me,
With the energy...

Trap me,
Conclude my illusion,
With the energy...

Love me, hate me because I am different,
look at me, contradict me because of your confusion,
contemplate what to do with me, I'll let you now.
Yet... In the end... you reap what you sow.


and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...

Though uncertain that I truly understand this write, having read it a number of times, still the words pack power and touch me somewhere behind logical understanding where the pure emotion runs.

You're a good writer and I can relate through situations I know.  Sometimes "hate" or anger is the best self-defense for reeling back in the heart.

Thanks everyone. Susan, I know what you mean, I don't know if I quite understand it completely myself...I was following quite an abstract line of thinking when I wrote this one

and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me...
