I AM (The Metaphor)

I aM. 

(The MeTaphoR.)
_________

From You ,
(and a wOrLd
of ScArS)

I hide 

feelings
behind clever
Metaphors;

because I cut 

myself on
The STaRs!

(grasping at 

Truths I should
not have
looked for.)

This once sweet 

soul
(wearing
midnight-skin)
became a Stone;

Life's worst 

example
of the human
condition.

Cursed to 

walk Alone!

With a name the 

angels
dare not mention!

(such as 

Perdition.)

and Gladly 

I 

would
have chosen 

Fate,

had I known the 

Grave
I'd
dig myself with 

Freedom;

Yet now 

it's 

too late!

(Every Star

is
dead at the 

hands 

of
Heathens.)

yes..

I AM 

ThE

MeTaphoR,

who hides 

from 

His Shattered 

Self no
Longer.

Opening 

uP

HeLL's DooR!

(which could've 

been
Heaven
had I only been 

stronger.)
