Darkness, blackness of night eternal,
fall asleep within the broken wings of thee,
Turn thy back on all things internal,
and fall asleep beside me.
I am your maker, your destroyer,
the breaker of your unstable majesty,
Step into my realm, my foyer,
and be dealt with in the ways of simplicity.
Go to sleep, please go to sleep,
and dream unseen visions of me
I am searching the deep recesses of my mind,
Tryin' to retrieve this dream and what I claim as mine!
I am drowning my consciousness in sick, demented thoughts,
Strangling my cerebellum as my cortex withers and rots!
I am venturing into the shadows for places left unexplored,
Getting weak without my sleep so I'm pumping adrenaline into my spinal cord!
I need to be awake for this, I need to be aware for this,
My inner paranoia is making me go insane and acting as a catalyst!
I am bleeding my last will and testament upon these white and padded walls,
Just in case I leave this world and get lost wandering upon these halls!
Black.
Void.
Abyss.
Silent.
Dread.
Fear.
Gloom.
Despair.
Dark.
Blind.
Moon.
Stars.
Death.
I am a writer,
a dabbler in the ways of poetry and prose.
I seek to create worlds in which you can understand,
Open doorways to unimaginable lands.
I strive to strike emotions into your hearts and souls,
Travel where no one ever dares to go.
I need to convey these thoughts on paper,
To demonstrate the pure agony of my soul in a medium that is much safer.
I yearn for that perfect line, that perfect rhyme,
The perfection of mere words that will reside in the minds of men for all of time.
I am a writer.
