| the evil thrums
through my veins reverberates in my skull invigorating muscles electrifying senses inciting riots of the mind throwing open doors to pathways previously unmentioned and as yet untraveled it flows, a blazing river of hate, anger, and fear smashing hindrances aside eating from the inside terrorizing on the outside destroying, defiling, denying I know it hates me the evil like a deadly disease a pestilence incurable rotting away my thoughts it hates me I have no power against it it lives within me the vigilent fight is lost screaming, wailing, screeching tearing at my core in my heart my soul consumed with it it feeds on my horror there is nothing I can do about it awash on the shores of my own failure succumbing, falling, collapsing things that I do not want to do devastating me, torturing me I am no longer who I want to be the evil has overcome my resistance toppled the tower of my will no longer able to hold up beneath the burden it seeps through the cracks in the shields of my spirit my barriers break my walls crumble |
This poem had been in the works for years before it finally got polished off and posted. It's about falling and failing, and giving in to some kind of evil.
