Demons come & demons go
seeking shiny shards of shattered dreams
I am defeated.
Ever searching for a way out of the dark
Being outrun by the distance torches
I am lost.
The homunculus pleads but love withdraws
Lost within mind…abandoned, trapped, entombed
I am crazy.
In this abyss, rivals abound challenging
Intellect tested, secrets traded
I am befriended.
I serve my purpose, & they serve theirs
Used, but undiscarded…important??
I am necessary.
Claws beared openly & boring in
Masks worn through until features show
I am hopeful.
The monster within seeks advancement
Not deterred, but encouraged, ambitious, thirsting
I am alive.
My heart is broken but blood still flows
Expunge the soul, the machine lives on
I am immortal.
