Rage

 

I would like to think this rage began in November

But it was here all along

It lives deep within me, like magma boiling below the Earth’s crust

It may lie dormant for a time

But eventually it bursts out of me, a volcanic eruption that I cannot seem to control

So often leaving me feeling ashamed and repentant

But you can’t stuff the lava back into the volcano

And even if you could, it has already burnt everyone around you

Like the volcanic crater, I am left singed and scarred inside where no one can see

And the ashes will continue to darken my skies for a long time to come

 Innocence

 

When you said that I was innocent

I wanted nothing more than to prove you wrong

I thought innocence was a stain that everyone could see

 

Only when it was truly gone did I realize

Innocence is what draws unicorns to you

But also predators

Cassandra

I told you not to let that fucking horse inside the gate

But, as usual, you refused to believe what was so obvious

Now you’re celebrating your own stupidity while the enemy walks out in plain view

I don’t know at this point whether to laugh or cry

I saw it all coming

I see it all coming

You will laugh up to the moment they slit your throat

I can already see the shock in your eyes

While your friends look away to avoid seeing your fate

To avoid acknowledging what awaits them

I see it all coming 

I’ve seen it all coming

I’m wearing Apollo’s snakes like earrings while you

are laughing at my predictions and

Preparing to feast on the tears of those you think will righteously suffer

Not seeing the snare that awaits you outside your front door

I see it coming

I see it all coming

I understand what it means that my body is no longer my own

But you think you will still own yours

I almost feel bad for the moment you will learn otherwise

If one of us falls, all of us fall

I see it coming

I see it coming for you

I see it coming for us all
