even on the outside if everything's alright

on the inside I feel twisted like wires and vines

darkness slowly creeps into my heart

like a predator

I try

to not become one with that darkness

to not run away to the unknown

but I feel like that darkness consumes me

by jeering the one that has been closest to me

Their darkness becomes mine

No matter how many times I rap with words upon their empty minds

My words pass through them with no succession

When will they comprehend my pain? When will they stop?

They act like their actions have no effect on me

And I can't take it!

I can't take them!

They have given me these feelings, this darkness

They tell me to open my mind, my emotions to them

But how can I do that when they put more darkness in?

A shadow has grown upon my heart

It has grown there over the years

Accusations

And lies,

slowly chip away at the last my innocence

They have said hatred lies deep within me

It is living, prospering in the chambers of my heart

a hatred they themselves

have born with their own hatred
