Damnation
By RequiemExMortis
I dwell unwanted like aborted fetal remains, left to suffer the stench
of the dead and the dying on the path to God. Dreary, clotted loathing
consumes me, breaking quickly against a Higher surface and wearing down,
like so many misanthropes whose barriers reserve them; like so many whose
affinities are limited to eloquence. Nothing common exists where these
dual pathways diverge-- obtuse from Alpha to Omega, each pass twisted to
undermine moral progression.
Pallid grey matter integrates little, sightless like shadows where comprehension
lacks clarity-- speaking as if voices were like echoing fragments, like
mirrored apparitions of burden that wear down minds with omnipotent oppression;
constricting the breath of well-formed lungs, lying misshapen inside ideal
thoughts. External dilema is left to decay. Above realizes the remission
of this less formal sin, as shades of regret manifest unbidden, biting
with such insect voracity that it grates upon the surface of a personalized
deceptive front, revealing the true nature of what I've become: A truly
abominate grotesquerie, masquerading in flesh and blood and skin. Eyes
sight fault, wherefore's lost behind a quickened stream of scarlet vanity,
self-infliction radiant as vision fails acuity, insomnia refusing to overturn
into a lifeless sleep.
In comparison to such volatile atrocities, only solitude holds sway, looming
like some dark horror above me, seeking to atomize the every fiber of
my being. Crushing velvet indigo light pains and despairs me--the electric/synaptic
response to optical/physical stimuli-- gives option to anger as my baseline
corruption; gnawing deliberately at my ravaged-- and ravenous mind until
psychological mutilations take place, shaking the shambled structure
deep within to mantle and earth, daunting the only hope I had left for
peace, placed where no remnants survive.
Memory reveals the shorter distance to delusion, blind to basic reasoning,
as mine falls consistently inadequate in my own short-sightedness. Jagged
edges of the same sensations impale, until the affections turn afflictions,
burning morbid like cancer-- leaving nothing good to surface... not even
on a monochromatic level. Crooked desire is smothered to absence within
misery, stretched far too thin to process wisely within this third-rate,
real-time psychosis.
Hollow eyes fail to recognize existence for what it truly is: A loaded
gun. I am affronted... I am the thorn cutting exquisitely into the side
of you; I am the product of lust without love; I am the darkness that negates
your sight until the fear of God is in you... do you fear? Looking-glass
fails the requisite intensity, otherwise lamented to compel distracted
eyes-- upon whose request, perversity does prevail. Hastened to hatred,
this vertiginous atmosphere shatters and twists around me, provides me
as the soul benefactor of the corrupted half-life degradation therein,
so thoughtfully, paving my own path to damnation’s doorstep.

Wow. This is a truly refreshing read. I had to read it a few times to try and grasp the symbolism. This writing really speaks to me. I wouldn't change it. I like your words used as well.
