I’ve been molded by failure

From my first memory

I’ve taken all the world can give

And turned it into misery

There are things I’ve seen and done

No man should endure

Redemption is a fantasy

My poison has no cure

I kneel before the darkness

And feel it in my bones

Prostrate in my desire

To be at peace in the unknown

I kill me

With my desire to live

Forsake me

I have nothing more to give

Suffocating fury

Disemboweling dread

Funerary practices

Worshipping the dead

This experiment in terror

Is waged upon the spirit

Created to destroy

The last shred of my humanity

Facing the terrors of the abyss

All alone in spite

Learning the lessons of failure

My weakness turned to might

I kill me

With my desire to live

Forsake me

I have nothing more to give

I kneel before the darkness

And feel it in my bones

Prostrate in my desire

To be at peace in the unknown
