My Own Worst Enemy by ~empyrealmage:iconempyrealmage:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open




These events in time cannot be undone
Thus I throw myself off this precipice
Forgetting myself and all that brought me here

All these years I just couldn’t wake up
Reaching and falling and fucking with my mind
Now I cannot even drink the elixir

Something inside of me perished
And I can still smell the stench of death in the air
Luring me back to these rancid badlands

Can you account for the blood on the walls
The tyrant that coated your mask with distain?
I scored too deep and you didn’t even know it

So much for the bullshit providence
The stars melt, casting gazes on the bleeding sky
So much for destiny and the tales they tell

Wishes dissolve into nightmares
The horrors that make you sweat at night
I can’t even wake up without screaming

I’m tearing into the stockade
Trying to escape from this twist of fate
Free me from myself, my own worst enemy

wow that is incredably well put. all I have read from you is dark and depressed, I would love to see what you can write about more positive subjects.

also, you do a great job of putting preview images on your poetry.

Then looking upwards I strain my eyes and try to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.
"do they collide?" I ask and you smile. With my feet on the dash the world doesn't matter.

Interesting... It made me wonder who you were talking about... Though it is the truth...
