Birthday Gift: My Rebirth in the Dark

This is my birthday gift for my friend, Erik Smirneos! :) 

 

- My Rebirth in the Dark -

It dawned on me as I was falling in chaotic darkness
For the very first time I knew
I knew the one and true meaning of your words
"Hurry not towards death, for death will reach you in the end"
For that one moment in stillness
Frozen with fear, consumed by anger
Gone off to somewhere you'll never know
To the place where angels and demons dread to tread
Where souls reborn in agony can only enter
Hatred filling the void where my heart used to be
Bloody images of war in my mind
"Kill! Kill!" they command incessantly
"Kill those who step in your way"
"Kill those who have the nerve to face up to you"
"KILL, KILL, KILL THEM ALL!!"
Thousands of voices blasting in my head
Leave me the fuck alone, won't you?!
I never asked for this hell of an afterlife, anyway!

(actually, this poem is kind of old, written more than a year ago, but I believe it fits you nicely!)
