Stories In Rhymes #2: Betrayal

in #poem6 years ago

We all have our different ways of dealing with the darkness. Some of us self-mutilate to fill a void, while others medicate to drown out excessiveness. Ironically, the guilt that haunts us often encourages us to never desist. Sometimes we all just need to give in to the insanity, and let it control us for a moment…this is the result of mine. The truth is not for the faint-hearted. Be who you are, and do so fearlessly. The only thing that ever matters is that you believe in you.

Some say that you are what you eat, but quite often you become what you’re eaten by.

Trust & Betrayal

The part of life I can’t forget, the choices made I still regret
Within this phase, an endless threat; I found no way to change me yet
The memories that hold me back; hold me down, matter fact
My love is like a circus act; I tamed a lion, made a pact

I risk my life to prove I’m just; the only one that you can trust
Devour me now if you must; leave me headless for my lust
Clear your mind of all the doubt, proving what I’m all about
I cage myself into your den; I’m never coming out again

I place my head within your jaws, pause; wait for the applause
But no one sees my sacrifice, it’s me alone and sleepless nights
You’ll never know the endless fight, to prove them wrong; to make you right
You shut it down, I’ll lose my head, a mindless soul; my heart is dead

You’ll never see the tears I shed; or all the words I left unsaid
All for nothing time has lost, pride is swallowed, at what cost
Forever trapped within this frame, I’m never stopping, chasing fame
A safer love I’ll never gain; I chose this pain, it’s all in vain

A better life remains a stranger, all because I lived for danger
And even if I could survive, no good part of me is still alive
I ponder if you’ll ever wonder, what life is like had you not blunder
All our dreams were torn asunder, the moment that you lost to hunger

But it doesn’t end it starts again, I bend; I break, becomes a trend
Another chance to do this right; my bright light it’s out of sight
I dove right in to face my fright, but all my fears just took a bite
It taught me how to hate and spite; became the darkness in the night

Despite the fact that I’m just blight, the world’s convinced that I’m all right
Like a parasite the pain unites, I became the lion’s appetite
Revenge is all that’s black and white, everything else is just oversight
I’m dead inside but not just quite, I’ll live again for one last fight
Resurrect myself into this strife, betrayal becomes my afterlife.
Being in control is a must; I’ll keep me safe at all cost
In the end when all is lost, betrayal is the one I trust
