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.
