Like You Are
By Kainen
Tell me the things that are on your mind
The ones on how to survive and to perish
To love and be loved
To look with passion at another
*
Long ago you once knew these feelings
But now your days are ashen
Burnt with contempt and brutality
You have nothing inside
*
Your soul is not there for all to see
Nor is it for you
You have sensations that pull you along
That bind with your heart and inner being
*
How can you keep it silent?
All that desolation and loathing and jealousy
You walk days and nights through the sand
Knowing it's there - this tugging
*
So when the rage consumes your mind
All you need is to release
You hate the world
Or rather, the people you see each night
*
That is why you yearn
That is why you want to draw the blood of others
Instead of your own
That is why they pay
*
They pay for your anguish
They pay for their crimes
You are the perfect disguise
Silence is your tongue; stoic is your face
*
It is your strength
Yet your source of damnation
The pain is all you feel
And the blood is all you see
*
Yes . . .your eyes say it all deep behind that cherry colour
Your true self awaits a probing eye
Perhaps you have sanity after all
Perhaps you will live
