My inner demons, cleverly disguised, anxiously await
amid the shadows in my mind.
My weakness is no secret, falling prey to the leeches, and once touched,
crumbles thus into the hole which is my existance.
Cry not for me, for I am pitifully wretched, simply a slave to this
self inflicted prison.
Endeavour not, to liberate my soul, for I have accepted this...living, and
the chains that come with it.
As you pass by, catch my sight only briefly, for my suffering gaze is
quite contaigous.
I grieve in silence, for my pride is tremendous, and I will not allow you your misconceived perceptions.
I am life, I am death, I am the nothing in between; I am the fallen king, the legacy rejected, the noble legion and the beloved queen.
I am mayhem materalized, passion paralized; in the midst of it all; I am human.

WOW......
THIS IS VERY, VERY, VERY DEEP AND DEFINITELY THE THOUGHTS THAT COULD dwell within the twisted, tortured psyche of a killer. I love the words you used and it created quite a bit of tension, making the reader STRIVE to read on.
KUDOS ON THIS WONDERFUL WRITE!
Thanks so much for entering

A paralizing thought!
Your poem has kicked into gear some very intense emotions that steadily intensify even more as reading into it more! Excellent imagery also my friend! Spooky thought to have to live this way! But you may be closer to the truth than most know! Great job! Don

Thank you so much for your praises!! They are very much appreciated, though reading back over the poem, I feel as though I cut it short; or maybe, it never ends!!

It really delights me that you enjoyed that particular line, for after reading the finished copy, I really came to like that line myself. It's funny how you can surprise yourself after writing something, then proceed to be enlightened by your own subconcious insiht!
