Burnt Sarcophagi

Burnt Sarcophagi
 
Pride in individuality
Only led to lonely
An empty life
 
Prongs of pain
Driven me to strife
Internal demons
Demand I try
To make myself
Mime my way
Through this life
Only way I can
Live with this
Monstrosity I
 
Would love to be
Normal, no
It's to late
I have crafted
A man void
Of normality
Quite a individual
Quote a man mental
I cannot handle this void
Between I and others
 
It is bleak inside this shell
Built around myself
Burning sarcophagus
Plural sarcophagi
Laughing inside, I
Want nothing but to
Make the tomb I weigh
Internal hemorrhage
Cry, I sing to all who hear
This pressure perverts
The love I can give
The love I can take
The bleeding heart pumps
My blood, red and blue

I have been writing poetry for the last 13 years. It all started as an assignment for a creative writing course. I never thought I would like writing, as I am dyslexic and language was always a struggle for me, but I fell in love with the art form in that class.
