Literature Text

I was born into darkness,
Then you wonder why I don’t like the sun,
All my life I have been in this darkness,
Why should it change now?

When you live in darkness, you question everyone’s movements,
I watch the people around me closely,
I move a step into the light, only to jump back, farther into darkness.

Blood now flows in my river,
This hell of mine is ever dark,
In this darkness I’m in, I am king.

Bow down before me, my children of darkness,
I know you love to cause havoc and pain, just leave the light alone,
So smile upon me now, your leader in this darkness.

Fuck this world, and all those who beg me to enter the light,
If I do, my skin will burn right off,
I hate you all for condemning me, why do you say I’m evil?

Blood now flows in my rivers,
This hell of mine is ever dark,
In this darkness I’m in, I am king.

Bow your head and say a prayer,
So that when you die, you can enter the light,
So speak to others in a loving tone,
And stay away from the light of the living.

someone once sat me down and told me that i was living my life all wrong, and that the ways that i was living and acting weren't my ways. That this darkness that i seemed to show was nothing more then a cry for me to get out and step again into the light. Naturally i told them to fuck off, and they have no idea who i am, why i act the way i do, and the things that i've done and seen in my life. I live in darkness... i'm not evil.
