602. Dear Humanity

Even if no one ever believes,

At least I’ve spoken the truth.

For evil eternally deceives,

To dwell just beyond what mind perceives…

As reality.

And even if I’m still tossed aside,

My spirit will be at peace.

For I’ll no longer be forced to hide,

And forever, in darkness reside…

As your prisoner.

574. Negligent Rapture

Ah, the luxury of not having to believe.

I wish I had such riches.

Some things are best not known.

Best not to scratch the thought that itches,

And pretend it isn’t there.

Ah, the luxury of not wanting to believe,

And live in ignorant bliss.

I wish I knew what it was like,

To shove truth away with a fraudulent kiss,

And not feel guilty at all.

567. Soulless

You destroyed me, left, and did not care,

Now you lie and say you were never there.

Live in your lies all that you want to,

Though, no matter what, they will not save you.

Pretend you’ve been wronged. Pretend you’re kind,

And someday soon you will be sure to find,…

There’s nothing left once the facade fades…

Emptiness perpetually pervades.

You sold your soul to self-delusion,

And gained no more than a poor illusion,…

Of a human.
