Sufferance -

Sift through the rubble, creating a case against this earth

Found in the last place I search

From deep within you force the mirror upon myself

Face my sins, my eyes scratched, blind to this sight

Self-indulgence makes my flesh turn grey, the beauty within, blackened to a

darker core

The selfless act brings me into the light, a shell of purity masks the internal

decay

I become the demon in my dreams

I become the object of my hate

Soulless, my disposition raped from me

Identity masked by my words

I must remove the mask I wear

I must defeat the demon in my dreams

A second-hand soul dressed in silk to match it’s peers, playing catch-up to the

perfection I adore

Scars under the surface, hidden from them all, they will remain until I reach

peace within

I work through this void, search through debris, change frequencies,

reclaim myself
