Author note: Much has been happening in my life. I’m sorry that most of my poetry has been dark and bleak as of late, but it helps me relieve myself of stress and hardship. I wrote this one with a lot of pain and anger, and I’m sorry if it only upsets you. In my words I hope you find some truth, or at least artistic value haha, since I think it doesn’t merit even that right now. Anyways, I just wanted to warn and apologize people before you read it.

The night is darkest within my eyes
A final collapsing enterprise
Misshapen city, sky enticed
To withhold my burning, seething cries
What am I now?
Knight in white
Night of light
A light like night
What is good
What is bad
One is not
Where the other can’t
Searching seas as vast as space
Collecting shards of ice and race
Splintered wood, burning hives
Human existence
Behold my eyes
Dark as I have ever seen
What’s wrong with us?
Why don’t we sleep?
We stay awake in vast expanse
Holding clocks with resonance
This is it, the searing crow
That sings it’s final kissing blow
Collapse oh Rome
That’s quite enough
There’s nothing now
No place, no home.
Why has this darkness creeped inside?
I see the darkness in everyone’s eyes!
Why must fear take it’s hold?
Why can’t we stand?
Distilled
Do what your told!
It’s getting so old
It’s got to stop!
That’s enough, of Rome!
Give us back our home!
We are bees, colonized slaves
Working only to play charades
Our hives
Our cries
Our eyes
Our lives
We steep inside the smouldering case
Smoke deprived sleep array
Busy, bursting, nuzzling, thirsting
Til’ flames ignite our alibis.
