Monster

By kenneth

What was good
Has now left forever
I think that I should
Become the monster

What once enlightened me
Has now become my torment
And what once plagued me
Has now become my enlightenment

The light is so cruel and cold
Yet the night is so inviting
As I watched these events unfold
My frail heart was crumbling

I no longer cling to this existence
Everything is just a burden
I no longer stare in awe at the elegance
I guess I must be broken

The evil voice inside my mind
Has now become my best friend
The right words I cannot find
My gun whispers of the end

My head wont stop spinning
As I am spiraling out of control
There will never be a new beginning
I know I am losing my soul

In my hand my sword I hold tight
As the wicked feeling comes over me
I know all I have is my might
And it will soon set me free

Everything I once clung to
I get to watch it wither
Is this what it had to come to
I will always be this monster
