Fragmented pieces of misconception An illusion brought down to its knees My heart's reeling in as bait Dragging it's bloody matter along muddy waters A realization of false grandeur makes me sick I'm not as strong as I'd like to believe Who am I to become something great? My salvation is a joke for ministers to giggle at Revolting creature I see you through Don't look back at me with those love sick sadden eyes I have little pity for the damned yet you pluck at my heart strings Your tearing my aging flesh apart It kills me to see you so distraught Can't help but blame yourself for this You knew what consequences laid at the horizon Foolish being your ego won't save you here We're at the pit of annihilation The guilt must be wrenching to know your the traitor Guess this isn't anything new. How pitiful you are. |

Wow, Zach. You have come a long way as a poet. Your font is a bit small, but the peering was worth it. You write interesting poetry ~ and, your visuals are fantastic. Good to see you here again. Alison |

Alison, It's nice to be back and hear from old friends. Ah, the font is purposely small. Hard to read, I know, but I have a weird habit of not trying to take up too much space with my words. Really, this poem is just my depressive emotional vomit, but most good things aren't things that have been pondered too heavily. Thank you for the kind words. Everyone else who commented, thank you for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. |
