Exiled
A Ninth Piece of Dark Poetry.
This is my ninth dark poem for Dharrsheena.
The music is "Internal Exile" by Fish which actually quite a jolly song with some dark observations.
π€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€π
You are the one that committed the crime
Attacked by accusers, beaten and burnt
Stopped from defending yourself any time
Thrown into exile in this bleak desert
π€π
Alone in the hot sands where your strength is drained
Your skin is peeling and you start to bleed
Mind loses focus as you go insane
In this hellish exile, youβre trapped not free
π€π
Forgotten by friends and those that broke you
In dark solitude, you survey your wounds
There is no healing, they sent you to die
Condemned to Exile, on the back of lies
π€π
In Exiles desert you will not survive
The Devils strip your skin, flay you alive
π€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€π

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I donβt even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
