sadness consoles me in the dread
it is a vibrant feeling
delicious pain aching within me
thrums my soul
drums my heart and it skips a beat
faltering in the darkness
my thoughts are not as yours
with thoughts of escape I remember
the macabre is more real than the light
singing songs of despair I realize I am in my element
looks of sunshine lie
secrets of hurt confess
my damnation is utter
wickedness my savior
if not the monsters would come for me
treacherous fear it’s best not to
blood in the water will stir the frenzy
my fear never to be seen
silent stoic is my covering
but you will remember me
