Destroy Something Beautiful


Today I woke up to a changed world

What mattered no longer matters

What was no longer is

No reason

No explanation

Only a Kafka Metamorphosis

All the ugliness buried deep inside me has been moved to the surface

And I embrace the darkness

It releases me from the chains of light

The illusions of happiness

Out of nothing

I dared to create something

But my desperation was transparent

My deception obvious

You can't change who you are

And it's time to stop running

I now realise this moment was inevitable

I built it

I am the architect of my own pain

No one else

Unable to save myself from myself

I am not so selfish that I don't understand that I can ruin lives

And it's a truism that I only leave destruction in my path

I belong to hell

And death becomes me

And since loneliness and grief are the only friends that will never leave

We three will sit together

Outside the black gates of eternity

And reluctantly they will watch

As I destroy something that was once beautiful
