Falling in my dreams

Splatter the pavement with the remnants of my conscience.

The torn and withered smattering of morality.

The last bit of good in my being, swept away.

The idea of righteousness, so foolish and naive.

Held on to for so long, my attempt to deceive.

To make believe that these demons won't decide my fate.

A razor slides across the slab, then I insufflate.

Self-flagellation, presented in a powdered form.

Waiting for this moment since I was born.

Shell of confidence,

Half-truths veiled with lies.

A plastic smile conceals

The emptiness inside.

Versions of myself, slowly replacing me

But nothing can replace

What has been taken from me.

Disemboweling, purging my inner wealth.

Hopelessly enslaved, the only cure is death.

Broken, my mind betrays me.

This will be what destroys me.

Falling in my dreams

Splatter the pavement with the remnants of my conscience.

The torn and withered smattering of morality.

The last bit of good in my being, Swept away.

The idea of righteousness, so foolish and naive.

Held on to for so long, my attempt to deceive.

To make believe that these demons won't decide my fate.

A razor slides across the slab, then I insufflate

Self-flagellation, presented in a powdered form.

Waiting for this moment since I was born.

White walls of light surrounding me

Veins collapsing, I can’t breathe

For a moment, I feel complete.
