I have a dark shadow on the other side of my mask
the black between my face and the plastic a black amassed
Not sure how to explain like a pain from the future and the past
A seeping cancer, a waking disaster ever last
Every blink I do it in fear, feels like the last blink that I'll be here
Feels like something taking over and soon I'll disappear
Like the ground beneath is shaking when evil is near
Like really I'm the devil and that rage in the mirror
Like really I'm the one that all should fear
A lone wolf is dangerous can I make it any more clear?
Just 1 silver bullet through the left hemisphere
I can feel this raw formidable power
Surging through me like every hour
Like I could pull out hearts and devour
Like all should bow before me in my tower
The grimace on my mask is no match for my glower
A poisonous stare that could wilt flowers
Some days I live in my head for hours
Stuck between the light and dark powers
My thoughts in circles right back here again
Maybe I'm the product of experimental evil twin?
Like I'm the good with bad mixed in
Like I need to wear the mask to keep it all in
Like I'm about to explode in the next second
Like I need to be alone like a locked up weapon
Cause if I don't who knows what will happen
Slip, lose control and that's the last we saw him

Awesome, thanks for sharing your work. Your metaphors are great, and you tell a good story. I felt like you used the word 'like' too much, but maybe that was intentional. I'm new to this and hope to start posting some poetry too, I've got a few saved on my drive. Peace out, I'll keep a lookout for more of your poetry :)
Thank you! I had one of those creative moments an it just flowed out of me. The 'likes' were intentional. When I was reading it out loud the likes give it a kick.
Right on I'll keep an eye out for your work.
I read this as a rap and it was amazing.
Are you into music?
~☆~
Also sounds like your going through the dark night of the soul.
The battle of duality between the beast and our best.
I see your best and I hope you shine through the battle by walking through the shadow.
Tool helped me a lot with that shit growing up.

Love the rhythem and transmutation alchemy in this post.
Yes, I love music. I'm a bit of a hobby rapper/Lyricist.
It shows
Keep it up.

Fav artists?
Hed pe, slipknot (old stuff) Korn (old stuff) Icp, Marilyn mason, cof, Mortiis, static x, soad. I like little bits from all sorts of artists. I like classical music, mostly Beethoven (not that I could name a song lol)
All great artists.
Top of my list has to be SOAD ♡
Many people weren't too happy when they did some solo work. (I loved Serj's work big time)
Excited they are back together though now.
So many bands you mentioned I havent listened to since highschool.
Time for some catching up.
Progressive rock was nice too as it merged classic and rock.... You're bringing back so many memories... omg @w@/~☆
I haven't listened to any new SOAD stuff nor the solo stuff either.
But I'm kind of stuck in the past for music ATM. I haven't ventured into any new stuff from any bands I liked or looked for any new stuff. I have delved a little bit into a few independent underground artists, mostly artists I have interacted with on fb but that's about it.
I definitely know how that can be.
Half wondering if we're around the same age xD.
Always healing to move into new types of musical energies though ;)
I hope its cool but based on your sentiment towards corruption I hope you might be ok with me linking 2 Serj songs
This ones called - Figure it out
This ones a collab with an artist tech n9ne -
I'm more than cool with you linking stuff to me. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, and I'm an 80s baby.
