Eviscerate my being! Distort my face!
Bring me closure to my ego; replace!
Seizure in dark games through which we interlace,
Beckoning the reaper's embrace.
Subvert my empathy!
Break me into colluded ecstasy!
Mold me in your image of apathy!
Put me in a daze of senseful apogee!
If only I could help You experience the same...
If only I could put out what had went aflame...
If only I could rid you of your own self blame...
My ultimate goal- to personify your game..
Knowing I belong on greater stages;
I set out to share a seat among your stations!
As I'm marching alongside your pages,
I'm taunted by the echoes of ages,
mocked by divine wages.
Taxing are the paths to your way.
My will's faltering, hope's grey,
mind's in a state so risqué.
Tell me, is this the price that I must pay?
"Fractious paranoia vying to supplant.
Vying to take over, to ruin your descant.
To kill that which would lay bare, the one which I shan't.
And destroy the altar to which I hum and I chant."

'Subvert my empathy!'
how sad
that intoxicating distortion
of wrath...
I hope a days may come
where you seek salvation, beyond
anger's tendrils
for within that lava heat you spew
upon our callous world
exist, ashes of your own defeat
(a great write, dear poet
such brevity of impassioned commentary)
if you permit me, asking for you patience
in advance, I have quoted lyrics below
from a song, by a favoured artist of mine
from 'why do' by that wordsmith
Akala
'Living in foulest conditions, still breed proudest traditions
We speak, everybody listen
But we still jealous, when one of us shining
Like I'm grindin, why's my man shining?
I ain't criticizing, been known to be whiling
Just tryna give you food for thought when I'm rhyming
Cause I'm tired of youts' them dyin' cause there's no guidance
But I won't have my fam cryin
An eye for an eye? That's your science?
Cool we're the same then, let's get blinded'
(treasure your capacity for empathy
however hard, it may be
to exist while embracing awareness
indeed this is a burden, far
too few, are gifted)
Thanks alot for the comment. I'm not here too much so I didn't see it at first. Much appreciated
