A SILENT PRAYER TO A DEMON
L. B. Mek said:

\'You gloat in my lack.

I am but a rootless flower destined to wither in a vase full of water.
Your water gives life, but fails to let me live and prosper.
Others flourish in its flow; I drown in its depths.
Why do you choose when we are many that follow?
We follow because only you say you know the way.
Blind to your treachery, deaf to your lies, we follow.
Only to inherit pain and misery of the journey we take.\'

I will not ask anymore, I shall take without regret, and guilt.
I will not follow you anymore, for I walk my own path.
I do not need your light to see, I follow my heart.\'
