I'm ready to let myself go
To let the feebly held together pieces
Fall apart again.
I'm ready to let the river
Sweep away the buildings
Of cheery pretendedness.
I'm ready for the destruction
For the sweeping away of souls.
I'm ready to accept my Fate
As long as I'm taken before the real end
I'll be content.
I'm ready for the tornado of emotions;
My twisted gut mirrors the grey funnel.
I stand ready to welcome the Chaos
Arms wide open, primed for the pain
Torrential winds whip my hair
Grabbing my clothes
Stinging my bloodshot eyes.
Lightning strikes nearby
It lights up my face,
contorted from fear
My knees tremble, I'm about to collapse
The weight is beginning to be too much.
I hit the ground
Like a bag of bricks.
I curl into a ball
Hugging my legs for comfort
As the rain falls down my face
I lay still
Ready to let myself go
Ready to let the feebly held together pieces
Fall apart again.
