BURIED SUBMERGED...

Tis a dark world

By Eastern TwelvePublished 10 months ago 1 min read

Buried, Submerged...

Convinced we have to be different

Convinced that beauty has to be unique

We build a form entirely hollow

Our sole purpose a beautiful ending

Claiming we want to stay alive

We devour our own fantasies

Take out the rib of fiction

Molding a new reality

But since we are not God, we fail to breath in life

Then we cry and darken the world

Claiming it hath not mercy

We dream of a perfect world

While draining out the perfection

It's no longer about the perfect imperfection

It's now about the perfect delusion

...Buried, Submerged...we are truly lost

And since the lost see no light or hope

It's okay to say ...It is a dark world.
