Sever the chains that hold you
Prisoner
In your own head,
Delirious with poisonous thoughts
Forever
Tainting, Tarnishing your mind.
Destroy the impenetrable wall,
Obstruction—
Preventing the expression of genuine feeling.
Separate the lies from the truth
Penetrate the veil of your self-disparaging disguise
Embrace
True Beauty Within
Ponder
The truth of your existence
As you see it
Stop
Self-pity
Feigned reticence
Disillusion
Ignorance.
Delve deeper into the depths of your mind
Violate the protective barrier
Figure out why –
Why there is dirt corrupting your soul
Why you passively accept
Oppression
Shattering your dreams
Obsolete shards of unrelinquished desire
Fading into oblivion
Erased
—Eternal.
Cross the threshold
Point of No Return.
Meet Misery
The force that envelops your happiness
Perpetually filling the void with despair
Ravaging you
Until
There is nothing left
—A mindless drone.
It is Always There
Ever-present
Waiting for you to succumb
Obliterating
All conscious thought.
Logic
Non-existent.
Desolation transformed into Nothingness.
