to punishment
can't be too picky
take what you can get
physical
mental
emotional or...

nothing sweeter
than the taste of your own blood
addicted to the sic(sic)
in you like a John
at some nameless truck stop
don't want him
don't want to be there
but you have to
you must
it's all a part
of the greater annihilation
burning the effigy of Self
destroying the star
that you paint over your reflection

mirror becomes the enemy
throws back reality, you don't wanna see
and in the end you're nothing more
than the fears that hold you back

(let go)
it's just a little pain
and it's worth every drop of blood
(give up)
fall farther than you ever have
spread your wings and pretend to fly
even as you hit the ground
(ignore the feelings)
let the love inside just wither away
emotional atrophy
sentimentless abortion
(the pain is only as real as you make it)
behind your eyes is every key
unlock the cage and free the beast
take the pain like air until it's just automatic
edification is your reward
as everything else just dies

(embody the Ugly
extinguish your faith
step beyond obsessive reflection
throw out your arms and drown in the pain
emerge a hollow phoenix
with blinding light for eyes
show humanity it's own black heart
and laugh as it all just dies) [comments] => 4 [counter] => 220 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Dark poem full of trickery. I thought it was crazy how you talk so much about deceiving yourself...nothing good every comes from that. One can only live in ignorance for so long before reality hits.
