The Mind of the Carcass
Are you happy?
Or are you sad?
With the life
you once had.
When you were creative
When you were happy
When you were young
When you were ignorant
When you were oblivious
When you thought of nothing at all.
But that's all over now
Now you're done
Now you can't stop
You think for hours on end about impossible questions
Impossible lives
Impossible things
But that isn't what hurts you
That isn't what binds you
To the destruction of all things.
You have noone to listen
Noone there
You are literally talking to a chair
The walls are your friends
They listen a lot
Those poor little walls
How they must be distraught
With all the pain they witness
The suffering
The defiance
The destrustion
The procrastination
The anxiety
The insanity
But sadly
They don't talk
They repeat what you say
Without saying a word
These walls are my friends
All the inanimate objects
They are my friends
My mentors
My hopes
My dreams
They contain them all.
They know them all
They are everything
Everything I might never have
A real friend
A real life
Another one who cares
Who cares for me
As I do for them
Peace of mind
Something I only ever achieve
When I sleep
And even then my mind is scraped
It's beaten
It's tortured
Self harm
It won't stop itself
It can't stop itself
It destroys itself with every dying moment
For it's not alive
So am I
Died awhile ago
When I finally felt nothing
When anger consumed me
Confusion consumed me
When my broken sanity consumed me.
Every day I hope for the end of it
The end of my mind
Eventhough it's not mine.
I do not own it.
I want it gone
Ereased
Destroyed
But remembered
For all the thinking it did
The things it thought of
It's views
It's workings
It's entire life
For it to be forgotten
Is to fail in all aspects
Which I have failed in all but one
My honesty
So please
Don't blame me
Blame the thing standing before you
Something I didn't create
I didn't want
It wants to be gone
Can't you see it in its eyes!
The need
The want
The destructive force
The broken force
Frankenstein's monster
Staring you in the face
You call it smart
You call it witty
You think it's handsome
What a pity.
The law restricts it
It's sliver protects you
The sanity that is left
On the verge of tearing
Once it's torn
It won't hold back
It can't hold back
So save yourself
Run while you can
For this being you look at
Has nothing to lose
Nothing to dread.
