I am Darkness

I have lost what is mine

In pursuit of a delusional elixir

My solitude, my moments of sanity

My love for myself



I have become nothing but a shadow

A shadow without a body

A wavering dark form

Invisible and invincible



Though I try to destroy this being

In the vague hope of a rebirth

I realize I am no phoenix

I am nothing but a leper



Like her wasted limbs

Have my character been eroded

I no longer recognize myself

I no longer am



I can blame none for my recklessness

I have let life’s disaffection scar me

I have decapitated my soul

And deserted my self



I am darkness

How can there be any light

How can there be any hope

Or have I even lost the need for hope



The need to be human
