Asphyxiate the caprice.
Destroy the promiscuity.
Gorge not the gluttonous desire,
Of your sickening vanity.
Hate all that reason tells you.
Love all your fleshly greed.
Chase all your fading phantoms,
On which you like to feed.
Vapid, heartless, callous monstrosity.
Quit your, careless, destructive insanity.
Stop faking sweet perfection and innocence.
Rid the scars of your false penitence.
I see the blood behind your eyes;
An erupting heart soils the insides,
Too full of ghosts of selfishness,
and whims of beauty and pride.
You must look to the One who leads.
Don't blindly follow your own eyes.
That cyclical track only leads to self,
Where dissatisfaction bleeds. |

caprice...i think that caprice should be emphatically capitalized in this stance in order to indicate some sense of objectification towards the metaphorical 'caprice' emulated and seeping from every living pore in this piece. because in its latter form, it takes the reader a minute to draw the connection. just thought that might help.
. with such a large quantity and quality of words, you could surely find a synonym or some other means by which to denote [heart] in this line. it was brought to my attention that this sounds slightly redundant due to heartless and heart being used to closesly in conjunction of one another, heartless being the sense of showing no remorse with respect to emotion, and heart being itself...*shakes head* lol
