Veins of the Chaos that...Remains

By SolApathy

Chasing the emptiness of the nothingness I feel
Broken I chose not to heal
Atrophied wounds of thoughts you steal
My mind a sandbox of chafed memories, unreal
Bleeding thoughts upon the beach -- destined to taint the sands
I inject the demons into my veins with calloused hands
Finding in my numbness I still feel pain
Phantom suffering of thoughts-- Insane
wash away my soul with Hydrochloric rain
I burn with the animosity of contradiction -Am I insane?
Tripping within memories that shouldn’t remain
I take the razor, it’s shimmering blade calling my name
Driving me to draw a symphony of red
Excise the demons from my head
Screaming for a release I don’t deserve
I draw the blade deeply praying to be
…Heard

In the symphony of all the voices I've heard...The shimmering blade always spoke the right...Words //// 10 minute Willow dark poem...

I'm with Willow... I feel like I can't comment on this in a way as meaningful as I'd mean to. So let me instead just say "Wowzers" ... a seriously intense piece that has fantastic imagery and magnificent flow.

" I inject the demons into my veins with calloused hands" That line made the whole thing for me. Something about that line is haunting.
