Array ( [sid] => 5846 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Internal Corruption [time] => 2002-10-29 20:20:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => A gust of wind crosses the barren plain in my head,
there is a twitch in the back of my brain,
something isn't right, there is laughter,
I can feel the changes taking place.

My back is changing shape,
my eyes have sunken away,
I am ravaged from the inside,
as my skin rips and apart.

I collapse to my knees,
and let loose an anguished scream,
my hair falls down around me,
as in my pain I softly cry.

My fists are clenched so tightly,
as blood begins to flow,
from the jagged wounds in my hands,
where my nails had quickly grown.

I can feel demon wings sprout from my back,
my consciousness unravel,
and my soul take flight.

My reflection causes the mirror to shatter,
and now, in my darkest hour,
though I am surrounded,
I feel so alone.

Merely an example to be stared at,
a creature that can't be helped.

I tried to be what you wanted of me,
and now my heart is breaking,
and I'm dying,
this existence is killing me,
and your laughter echoes all around...
