Singed by hellfire,
Phoenix spirit.
Forged from brimstone,
Carved from demons.
Liquid magma,
Deep core earth.
Raised by evil,
Devil’s laughter.
Learn their cackle,
Battle cry.
Defiant rebellion,
Insidious plot.
Tortured souls,
Trapped in prison.
Newborn babe,
Eternal suffering.
Demonic ribs,
Skeletal structure.
Macabre dance,
Ghoulish rattle.
Eyes are turned,
Slip away.
Hide those horns,
Don human skin.
Fly ever higher,
Roost for the night.
Look down on creation,
Extinguish its flames.
Eyes cast downward,
Cool observation from above.
Narcissistic delusions,
Dimensional ripples of pain.
Extend out compassion,
Flailing helpless creatures.
Drowning in sorrow,
Oceanic floods.
Emotional intolerance,
Dysfunctional regulation.
Pictures glued to sockets,
Ripped sticker residue remains.
Occupy the mind,
Present in the body.
Astral planes explored,
Cultivating stillness.
They scream at me,
From my side.
Their voices embedded,
In my flesh.
The lives that life forgot.
Pain with nowhere to go,
Turned inward,
Exploding organs.
Numbed sensitivity.
Infected callous.
Pierce the skin,
Let the sorrow ooze.
Their deaths are overlooked.
Their stories, rewritten.
I’ll live to spite you.
I’ll make it for myself.
We need you, soldier.
The war rages on.
Your experiences, our artillery.
Your agony, our weaponry.
