Bit of a warning before you read it, the work below is meant to sound very...dissonant almost lunatic in its tona and style. Any advice or critique would be much appreciated as this is my first, poetry/song lyrics I have attempted to write.
FracturedReality
In the midst of night, I awake from the eternal nightmare with no recollection of a thing prior
The shroud of night envelops the bedside, yet I feel no emotion with the suffocation of the Light
Upon these naive cheeks the pain drips, as the tears of loneliness flow down my cheeks
Coerced by these deceptive phantasms, my mind collapses from the suffering
Am I alone in this sinful world?
If so who is to bare the atrocities I will commit?
Death's Demise brings me no sorrow
And I seek to know the true meaning of my burden.
Though my perceived reality is merely a façade
And Im a lotus grown in its utter darkness...
The border between reality and fantasy is blurred.
And now I venture to the location of the absolute truth.
My illusions of the present are seemingly paralytic
(Here I stand alone in the midst of my hazy reality)
Shall I stop peering obsessively into the crystalline nightmare?
(But when I'm overcome with insanity, how can I stop?)
This cycle of futility, a perpetual string of turmoil
(If my dreams are crushed, what would I be left as?)
Eternally I regret my lucent wish... release me from this unfolding tragedy!
(Escaping from the bonds of mortality!)
Dark light shines upon my white skin...
Revealing tainted flesh in the eve of night
Shimmering like the depricating corpse
Your mouth opens yet nothing comes out.
Are you speechless? Or at a loss of what I've become?
Is it wrong to want to alter this malignant nightmare?
To morph it into something crystalline and beautiful
Am you scared or afraid? If not then why avoid what is inevitable?
The scarlet abyss eventually consumes all
Has my dream evolved?
Or has my reality fractured?
Has my mind been enlightened?
Or...have I corrupted it?
*laughter*
Inside of me, inside of me, inside of ... me...
There's one word to describe it...
Monster? Villain?
nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing
nothing, nothing, nothing... inside of me...
Shattered reality; devoid of sound... I'm going insane; with apathetic delight...
sweet... death... alone with thine company
Acclamating distress... it's so fun... so fun...
Am I content?... it's so fun... so fun...
*laughter*
I'm shaking, I'm fearing
is this truth... or is this fallacy?!
*laughter*
So sweet! So sweet!!
To have a love as dark as the scarlet abyss
*laughter*
*Gun shot*
I stand still in the flow of time unaffected by its occurences
(For the true me no longer exists...)
This life, lost within myself - a tempest of betrayal and agony
(The sinner even in death bares his sins)
This ontogeny, is my eternal task to alter
(Are we intertwined eternally...)
So I attempt to sever the black thread of fate
(The strand that bonds together both existences)
The problem wih quotes on the Internet is that you can't always be sure of their authenticity
