Walking in the dark

Covered

I have this feeling of being choked out,

something clawing my throat so I can't cry out,

I can't even move, can't look all about.

My eyes can not see and my ears cannot hear,

But I sense someone... Somethings presence too near.

It's scaring me, it's holding me, but not in warm embrace,

no careful touch or caress but a firm grip on my face.

it's saying something now, I can't understand,

it's laughing at me now, well isn't that grand.

It's repeating itself, the demons noises are the same.

"you're all the problem, you're all to blame,

you always thought that this was a game."

what did it mean? What problem all the while?

His face changed now, curved into an evil smile,

his eyes so dreadful, filled with guile.

"You're a disease you see, impure in both aspects,

to your dead you barely give any respect.

You twist each others words and pretend you're saintly,

you look up to a God and smile so faintly.

You assume you're perfect because you say you are not,

your choices and favor so easily bought.

You sickly wretch, you 2 faced snake,

all that you do is fatten and take.

You plague your earth with lies and shit,

you deserve nothing but to be left in your own pit.

I can't end you now, however much I should,

if only I could, oh if only I could.

No you get to carry on, you get to live longer,

your greed and hate to grow ever stronger.

But mark my words, remember them and me,

I will wait to destroy you, if it takes eternity."

The demon released, and let me fall slack,

I dropped to the ground and lay on my back.

He drifted away and my mind as well,

where had he gone? Back into hell?

I knew what he meant, but didn't know why,

Why was I told? Was I soon to die?

I was back in my home now, the blackness had faded,

but the world still seemed quite eerily shaded.

I looked out the window, it was normal as could be,

I sat on my chair and turned on the T.V.

My god he was right, how had I been so blind?

So much evil that was so easy to find.

It was covered up too, by the veil of "right"

but all it was was another cause to fight.

people were dying because they were so god damn selfish,

their minds and their lives they left harshly  hellish.

They hurt ones they "love", as if they actually cared,

but their minds and their hearts were temporally snared.

They hated the others, success or failure, brought death into their lives because of their greed,

spent their lives grabbing for things that they knew they'd never need.

It was so horrible... To see what was wrong,

being ignorant was easiest all along.

I feel as if death would be a convenience, 

rather than watch all their misplaced allegiance.

The devil was correct, and in all the details,

the world was sick, with all that word entails.

A disease we are, and always will be,

but none will know, we cover ourselves from what we don't want to see.
