All I Am
By SickSanityJenn
So this is how I lose my mind
Squandering sanity over time
A twisted reality is all that's left
An empty shell of tarnished flesh
A wolf lurking in sheep's clothes
A shy smile masking all I know
I'm not the monster I used to see
But I'm not the saint I pretend to be
I've lost myself in all I've doneĀ
Ripped the walls down one by one
Allowed the darkness to take control
Tore out my heart and sold my soul
I've tried to forget things I remember
I'm trapped inside so I can't surrender
No longer dreaming that I'll escape
I've been through more than I can take
Marked from the day I was born
Cursed to live in this wretched form
Adapted claws so that I could fight
Sharpened my teeth so I could bite
I've bled hearts to feed my hunger
They were tough but I was stronger
I've tried to love but never have
Maybe a monstrosity is all I am
