Tenebrous...

By SolApathy


In the darkness there was… Something fierce
Piercing my every thought
Straining my every burden
Questioning every belief
And yet I find relief
In my cocoon of self-doubt
Isolation is my grace
I embrace
The thought I will never be
The person you thought I could be
I fell apart so long ago
Don’t even know what it was or how it began
I let go of your hand
Falling further than I ever thought
Fighting the darkness I wrought
My own hands the instruments of my demise
I disguised the disgust in myself so long
Now that is gone
Letting you see who I truly am
What began…
So long ago
The darkness that festered and grew
The truth I hid from you
My moment of weakness
Is now my beacon of strength
I will do what is meant to be done
I am no one
tomorrow that will change
I will avenge
Revenge
Paroxysm of hate and purpose
Faithful in my self-destruction
I clear the last obstruction
Retribution
Absolution
My soul no longer knows
Confusion
On fire with a purpose
Beyond your casual reason
Beyond the depths of doubt
Shadowed my soul so long
Rotted me deep
And with this I cannot sleep
I creep
Into every crevice they hid
Ending them
The last sight
The vision of what they did
Knowing the horror of what they created
Insatiate in my need to teach
Lessons of what they never should have begun
Morals of breaking the will of someone once
..So weak
Now they suffer, unable to speak
The horror of their creation
Unchecked and out of control
Not bound by a soul
Ending last one
..And when I am done I will end one more
The horror of myself
I know
…No more
