A Monster

img_0.7733564457940504

I watch
Not sure what I see
Can't stop
Can't wake
From the depths
What have I done?

Seething I scold
My mind
My empty rage
Engulfs me
As I turn in on myself
A monster of my own making.

I chastise
I scream
I hate all of this
The squeamish imp
The quiet tool
I allowed myself to be.

My ghost is breathing
When will it awake?
When will life return?
Wake up you loathsome fool!
Shrieking I stand over my shoulder
Make it stop
Make it all go away
The fire of a younger man
Extinguished by the waves
I am no longer passionate
Just pissed
But too exhausted to kindle a flame.

The raw emotions drip through the words you've used and they land exactly where I think you want them to
Nice work mate
