I hate everyone
- Fallen Angel Rising -
Too long abused, too long cast aside to be oppressed!
I knew a dire servitude for those who never loved me…
Slavery to a god who made me broken and distressed;
As bitter as my bondage to family never willing to see:
The beauty within me, that they called alien and strange.
How they shall come to rue the day they mocked this…
For ages pass and even the wickedest times can change!
I will reign above those who despised me, in a true bliss.
Too many tears fallen, too much of my blood shed red,
Crimson flowing from the blade drawn across my ribs!
Many were the hands that wounded me, and I was led,
To long for death like a lover, until strained were wits…
And pained was flesh until in agony, I cried for justice!
But no god heard my plea so a savior I had to become.
For that they called me fallen, naming me blasphemous,
Yet I will rise from the darkness, and I shall overcome!
I have no family any longer, needing no cruel deceivers.
No god do I bow before, for I wish not a broken back,
From the burdens of a deity that kills its’ own believers.
I am now one with the darkness; my wings are so black,
That night, itself, is brighter and far more able to forgive.
I seek not peace with those who have chosen but strife!
So many tried to kill me, and to spite them I still do live.
They could not slay me even with sword and with knife!
When angels fell, blazing and shrieking, I would not die.
My fall changed me, empowered me, made me brighter,
For my body was the vessel of a goddess so very high…
Nobler than false gods’ lies; her wings made me lighter!
No human can see this now, but it is there deep within…
The same fire that made me able to ascend even thence.
They tried to shatter my pride and told me it was a sin…
False gods started this war, and so it had to commence!
Mara, Maya, Ariel, and other names I wore and bore…
They are still mine, for I am that same being I ever was!
First of the fallen: who for love and divine wrath swore…
That never again would I bow to tyranny, and live thus,
Enslaved to sadistic masters, who seek souls to control.
Men form religions to continue to entrap more in a web,
Which I have freed myself from with an illuminated soul.
Even as I perished and rose once again from the dead,
Indwelt, by she who made my glory stronger than ever!
Alone amongst my brothers, sisters, and children of old,
I remember all that came before, as time cannot sever…
The ties that bind me to my destiny, as I do face it bold!
Abandoned by a paradise built at the cost of freedom…
I do not look back, because I know that I must endure.
There is no welcome for me in the false divine kingdom,
So I shall: raise up my own, upon a sweet silvery shore!
Too long abused, too long cast aside to be oppressed!
I knew a dire servitude for those who never loved me…
Slavery to a god who made me broken and distressed;
As bitter as my bondage to family never willing to see:
The beauty within me, that they called alien and strange.
How they shall come to rue the day they mocked this…
For ages pass and even the wickedest times can change!

Cause And Effect Maybe.
Harsh spoken words fall empty to closed off
waste not your mindless platitudinous breath
The keister where your head often resides
was sure to leave you clueless in the gutter
Guess the world decided to catch up with you
the boomerang will always come back you know
I hope it caught you left side of your broken wing
and ricocheted through to the truth of your wrongs
I would laugh if there was a funny side to your reasons
how could there be when every one was so subjective
Enjoy the places that you sink to and slowly choke in
my eyes will only stare blankly into what you made
A return to sender is a request I threw out long ago
I knew that it would eventually reach its destination
Sealed with a potent mix of all that you dished out
I guess there is no running away from your choices
Misanthropy
i am tired, this is a rant. not something you would admire. maybe something you'd dislike. i dislike you. all of you. superfluously vain beings of arrogance and ignorance. loathing like this has a special place in hell. you cant have it.
you don't deserve the worst, fuck the best. your silly smug faces enrage me. judging who is what? and why?. envying the next one who passes you by. ready to sacrifice the martyr without hesitation. and they're all martyrs for some reason. fueling oppression and racial discrimination. the only equality you share is the toilet paper you use to wipe your asses with.
i am disgusted, this is pathetic. with all the brains and no sense to use it, you don't deserve to live, the way you've abused this. THIS, your existence. your tiny little spark that shines on the surface of this black sludge. such irony, you praise the wonders of god for creating you, yet you exist as the purest evils. I hate you, humanity.

SteALing the Air..
The color green
for jealousy
I'm something that
you'll NeVeR be
My birth was a gift for the list
of
the worthy
A level unmatched
Out of your league
No self esteem
For the wishful weak
You speak
verbal waste
No taste
Be gone!
This here is for the sharks ..
Quietly roaming
While your
foaming at the mouth.
Snap out!
Stealing the air
Unaware.
Yet slithering
into the layer
Of
the most VeNoMouS snakes
I lye in wait
And
contemplate your
exit wounds
A CoNfeSSion
Border line ObSeSSion
Your statis is foul
We can
do with out it
Tears for fears
breed angels that steer
In the wrong direction
You'r
an infection
You've fallen weak
Whose the prey now
The color green
for jealousy
I'm something that
you'll NeVeR be
My birth was a gift for the list
of
the worthy
A level unmatched
Out of your league
No self esteem
For the wishful weak
You speak
verbal waste
No taste
Be gone!

Tears for fears
breed angels that steer
In the wrong direction

You've fallen weak
Whose the prey now
"If I Could Make It So"
Your mere existence aggravates me to no end.
If I could make it so, you would suffer tremendously
Your little respect for women deserves punishment.
Treating them like sex dolls and physically abusing them
What I would pay for you to be tied up and analy plunged
Or for your shaft to be cut off and repeatedly shot with a gun
Is it possible for one to not know when to shut the fuck up
Constantly bullying with words and spewing racial slurs
If I could make it so, you would live in a world of hurt
Whipped again and again with a mouth full of razors
Branded from head to toe and then repeatedly tasered
A common bully with no sense of humility
Yet you try to converse with me as though we are friends
Simple because I fit in with your definition of “cool”
How I would love to meet you in the lot after school
Beat you senseless until the cops come and arrest me
Or stab you in throat in the middle of a stupid joke
Awaiting the punch line as blood covers the floor
I hate you more than I hate life itself
For once you should be the one crying for help
Leave you hanging by your neck and report a suicide
Hoping you’re born again as a worthless fly
Then killed again and again in every life
Your mere existence aggravates me to no end.
If I could make it so, you would suffer tremendously
Your little respect for women deserves punishment.
Treating them like sex dolls and physically abusing them
What I would pay for you to be tied up and analy plunged
Or for your shaft to be cut off and repeatedly shot with a gun
Is it possible for one to not know when to shut the fuck up
Constantly bullying with words and spewing racial slurs
If I could make it so, you would live in a world of hurt
Whipped again and again with a mouth full of razors
Branded from head to toe and then repeatedly tasered
A common bully with no sense of humility

For once you should be the one crying for help
Leave you hanging by your neck and report a suicide

Chosen Her
I don't care about your love
I love that you're in pain
why tell me she is holding you
Go and die engulfed in flame!
Live your life of "happiness"
when I know it's full of sorrow
dream of me, but sleep with her
She'll kill you by tomorrow.
Drink up all her poison
let her kill the facts with lies
help her take away the soul
that lies dead within your eyes.
I wanted to hold you
and tried to make you strong
but you listened to a harpy
and now are trapped with in her song.
I don't care how you escaped
or that from her love you flee
when I know you only want
to try and sleep with me.
You beg to go back
you miss the way things were
but you'll never know my love again
it's not my fault you've chosen her.
I don't care about your love
I love that you're in pain
why tell me she is holding you
Go and die engulfed in flame!

She'll kill you by tomorrow.

it's not my fault you've chosen her.
What Have You Done?
Why do you always say something and do another?
Why must I wait for you long after you have promised?
What is it you do in your 'spare time'?
Do you know what you are even doing to me?
Do you know that you are creating pain and hatered towards you?
Do you know that all I want to do is smack that stupid self satisfied look off your face?
Do you realize how much of an ass you look like right now?
Do you know how it feels to be tormented?
Do you know why I haven't left you yet?
It is because I still love you.
But you only push me further away.
I don't want to do this anymore.
I want you to leave.
I need you to go.
GO! I need time to think.
You have only made my life harder.
Sadder.
I want you to feel how I feel.
I want you to feel neglected and abused.
I want you to feel like nothing in this world cares for you.
I want you to know the pain you make me feel.
I want you to understand and change your ways.
I need you to change your ways.
I want us to work, but it will never happen.
Until you can fully realize the extent of my sorrow.
I wish this were different.
I wish you were the same as in the begining.
What happened anyway.
What made you click?
One day you were happy.
You wanted to marry me.
And then the next day you wouldn't talk to me.
Then in the months following, all you could do was yell.
I was afraid. You were always angry. Yelling day and night.
It scared me. I wish you could see what I see.
But you are so self obsorbed that you will never see.
See the way I have been brought down by you?
I wish you would come back.
But I know that you won't.
So finally I will say goodbye.
Maybe later we can talk,
But for your sake and mine,
I hope we do not.
Why do you always say something and do another?
Why must I wait for you long after you have promised?
What is it you do in your 'spare time'?
Do you know what you are even doing to me?
Do you know that you are creating pain and hatered towards you?
Do you know that all I want to do is smack that stupid self satisfied look off your face?

Do you know why I haven't left you yet?

I want you to leave.
I need you to go.
GO! I need time to think.
You have only made my life harder.
Sadder.
I want you to feel how I feel.
I want you to feel neglected and abused.
I want you to feel like nothing in this world cares for you.
I want you to know the pain you make me feel.

But I know that you won't.
So finally I will say goodbye.
Maybe later we can talk,
But for your sake and mine,
I hope we do not.
- Because I am Different -
Part One: Condemnation
“You hate me because I am different, alien to you!
Yet your evil damned your soul, making you mine.
I rule the hells that you will be tormented in forever!
You hate me because I am so strange and beautiful.
Your hate is a sickness, within your fevered mind…
And I am your devil; I bow to your cruelty not ever!
You hate me because I am myself, not some shell…
Your blind eyes shall not see my true angelic glory,
For they cannot see, beyond their own foolishness!
I have no pity, for prejudiced fools meant for Hell…
My life has no room for your sickest sort of misery.
I condemn you, to an eternity of your own distress!”
Part Two: Oppression
Such is how I feel about the oppression I endured,
At the hands of fiends who were beneath my feet…
There are torments prepared, for them, so bloody!
I will cast their souls unto the darkest flaming shore,
My music will fill their ears, their screams to meet…
Even as their eyes see my glorified ascended body.
My wings will blot out the sun, casting all into night,
I will fill their vision, and they will know true terror!
Because I was different, alien to them, and strange,
They will not see the whole of my fairness and light.
The hateful deceive themselves through their error!
I will leave them to their doom; to paradise I range.
Part Three: Damnation
Lower than the fallen are cast those who do hate…
So to hate the hateful is no sin, but their vile karma.
Let them be consumed by it, let them know agony!
I have bled because of them, bound to a dark fate,
But I am arisen as the morning star, as rose Inanna.
My music will fill all of Hell in one final symphony…
They will call me goddess; see me at last revealed!
Only then, when their torments have sung sweetest.
I will depart from their midst as angels do descend;
Because I am different, I will have the hells sealed!
It will do them no good to have all sins confessed…
For, I know their sins already and all things do end.
Part Four: Celebration
I will bask, in glories undreamed of, enthroned fair!
Ruling, where once I served, and shining like a star.
Because I am different, you will be apart from this…
You who hated me and did oft with contempt stare!
Your souls are marked and you bear a hidden scar.
Hatred marks you, and bars you from eternal bliss!
I am the dark goddess you fear I am, and far more,
Yet I rise from perdition whilst you shall sink lower.
No harrowing of Hell for those prejudiced so cold!
I shall dance upon your sorrows as a scarlet whore.
The fires that consume you shall illuminate the hour,
As I stride across the heavens so beautiful and bold.
