[Poem] Nightmare, What we’ve become

Demons claw my skin, pierce bone

‘Paradise’, ‘Hades’: these words mean nothing now

Light is faltering, crazed and alone

Gehenna screams, “witness the madness I now sow.”

 

‘Reward’, ‘punishment’: these words mean little

I must walk the path set before me, but I can’t help question

I am human, I am frail, spirit is weak, my arrogance so gross it leaks, pride in my spittle

I may be tiny to You, but am I not at least an inch taller than ‘them’ in my understanding?

Still this arrogance, still this pride, I just can’t get rid of it.

Need to burn it away. Let the demons keep scratching…

Let them drink my blood and marrow, my angry pride until I can again see the Light

I understand but still, my mind and soul can’t help fighting

The pain of purgatory.

Oh, my Lady of Perpetual Succour

Why can’t my eyes see you?
