The Polished Sheen
The light reflects off the blade,
It's dazzling and serene,
I'm not so sure I can be saved,
My only thought is that polished sheen,
A faint smile upon my lips,
Shows my intent,
As the metal gleams and rubies drip,
It chronicals my Descent,
I sat with this thought in my mind for so long,
and cover it up with a smile and a song,
so transparent that anyone could see,
That I'm not quite as happy as I seem to be,
A joke here and there to ease my friends' minds,
But the only emotions I play with are mine,
I think they all see but I don't know if they care,
I feel like they're watching me even when they're not there,
I attack myself to avoid attacking others,
I stick to my morals like glue,
But sometimes I don't know why I bother,
When I look at the hateful things they do,
Do they deserve my rage,
Or is my own fault,
We're not all on the same page,
I wish time would just halt,
At least long enough for me to make a descision,
Do I end my own life,
Do I cut with precision,
Or do I intentionally miss the vein by a smidgeon,
Is it a call for help or am I too far gone,
Maybe I've lived in this world too long,
With the hate and the rage that I hold back each day,
There's nothing really I can say,
Fuck the world is my response,
I've given life a chance more than once,
So to hell with it,
I'm just about done,
I don't give a shit,
And hey it might be fun.
