I AM NOT EVIL

 

it’s what I have been turned to 

black, a threatening color 

a once upon a time soft tender loving person 

caught in the web of cruelty and disdainful plot 

now labeled grief and sorrow 

I am not evil

it’s just my thoughts getting the best of me 

making me go wild in ecstasy 

forgive me if I seem like a perpetrator 

it’s just me against myself 

I sleep on thorny bed to soothe my pains 

cut myself deep just to see blood rush 

all my curtains down, darkness is beautiful 

stuffy atmosphere makes everywhere lively 

even my shadow hides in fear 

my basement screams for ray of light 

doorstep filled with cobwebs, where would I go 

porch and steps laced with dust and leaves combined 

garden dried up, flowers withered away

this is cozy, it gives me balance 

I am not evil 

the tides were against me 

they dealt heavy blows on my innocence 

yanked off all humanity in my world 

then left me in this state to battle for sanity
