The Facade

The Facade

Alone within my own thought,

The world fades to utter black,

Except the end of the barrel attack,

Liberation in a hard lightning shot.

All I am is this fabricated machine,

No one sees what the real me is,

I may say and do strange things,

Only to call more attention to me.

A lone gunman stands without love,

All I really want is for acceptance,

Someone to look beyond the façade,

Maybe realize I am not this monster.

The sizzling ripping sound resonates,

Filling the empty void in my heart,

If only one special girl would I find,

She could pull the trigger one last time.

I would then lay down my guns,

And sit with her alone for a while,

Together wrapped in our own warmth,

Can I ever be accepted like this?
