O child of destruction
why do you weep?
Even though you dropped
the seed, it was humanity
that watered and nurtured
their own detriment.
🌩
Dear bringer of misfortune
Why do you hate yourself?
People cannot understand
the full capacity of happiness
if they know not of its antonym.
🌨
Fellow being of chaos
why do you doubt the truth?
How often have they told you
that you were wrong
for you to believe their deception
as an unwavering law?
🌪
My boy
why do you let the words
of others define you?
Their opinions are fueled
by emotions you have no control over.
🌤
You may go by various names
and act in ways not everyone understands
but your heart never changes.
As one may see you as a monster,
another will recognize you as their savior.
The question lies, what do you see yourself as?

All The World Loves A Clown
She caught herself flinching as he passed behind her, dragging his fingertips across the fabric on her chair. Without the slightest touch, she closed her eyes and disappeared into a memory of the last time he HAD touched her. Her body bore the scars that were given to remind her exactly who was in charge.

Disciples of Shiva, witting or otherwise, confound me, are my antipodes and therefore, are profoundly fascinating. This is good work. Inventive perspective with fun, albeit melancholy, conversational tone. Keep it up.
