Obsidian Rage

By darkness_descends


Acid tears burn down my face,
While my existence is looked beyond as if staring through a ghost.
I am dejected, and you wonder why I feel this way.
You kicked me when I needed a hug the most.
Still I struggled back to my feet,
Only to have my face shoved back in the dirt.
I am human, I do feel, I do cry, and I do bleed.
Do you really wish for me to be disappointed and hurt?
Alas I rise to my feet again,
Filled with crimson fury.
I will contend with your every attack until the bitter end.
No longer will these acid tears scar my cheek.
I may forever carry this cobalt sadness,
But I will finish this chapter of my life and turn the page.
My heart will move beyond this,
Eternally encased in obsidian rage.
