Serene Image

They say you can be defined

That the parts make up the sum

You are not simply what you do

I am not only what I've done

We fell from grace only recently

So I hid my face to keep my sanity

This plague, it eats a little more of me away

This rage, it will destroy what I've become some day

The new year opens with tears

No shield for this pain

The sobs that burn my ears

The sobs that pound like rain

A deep seeded hatred of our fellow man

Contempt for all other life

Not so unlike a swarm of flies

But still we think we know what's right

I stare back at my face

My eyes must show no sign

Of all I've come to regret

I'm all I've come to despise
