Seeping through my brain,
Tunneling my veins.
I try to grasp control
But it has found its home
Deep inside the caverns
Of my dark, dank mind,
Yet while it lives inside in comfort
It still seeks for what it cannot find:
A nameless horror that reigns
Above and over all those of its kind.
Hollowing out my vision
This thing has finally risen.
Taking over all
Its existence is my downfall.
Why try to resist
When its power promises to lift
Me up above all others?
I will reign and rule by night!
By daytime I’ll recover and submit
Without another fight.
Cursing with my tongue,
Pretending to still be among
The normal, I am taken
And overcome with rage.
Rage above all else
And rage that sets me free.
I’m screaming and crying -
But why bother? I know
No one can even hear me
For the thing has told me so. |
