As the knife's jagged edge pierces my soul,
wounds form scabs upon adhesion's darkness,
my shattered mind splits personalities
and oblivion offers sweet release.
The storm rages as one soul wants revenge,
another wishes absolution's kiss,
yet another prays for death's swift coming
and I watch from within, crying my tears.
Not one to seek help, I continue on,
hiding behind the shell that is my mind,
giving way to the demons about me
and pretending that none see my faces.
Life becomes confusion, when I am here,
and my tears go unheard behind my veil
as I sink further into nothingness
and begin to forget my existence.
Bidding farewell, I bury myself here,
in the grave of multiple's sanity.
No goodbyes scream from within my own soul
for I left way before this all began.
