“ WALK AWAY, JUST WALK AWAY”
Author Darryl S. STINSKI
Music Alessandro HUG
The pendulum swings across, cutting my soul to pieces
They say « walk away, just walk away »
I’ve been walking my whole life, all I ever got: A cell in hell, in having the breath of death every second…every minute…every hour…
Day …after month…becoming years…
The pieces breaking down into dust to be swept up and thrown away…Forgotten
The world saying
« Monster…Heartless…Soulless »
I am there dirty secret shame
The mirror reflecting their own darkness, their own festerling pustule of a soul.
They just have better masks to wear…better chains to hold the beast within…
I feed mine the shadows I live in…
I know my beast and accept him for what he makes us…Whole can you say the same…
