The Seasonal  Facade

†††
There is a place of darkened solitude,
Where souls that are dead seem to thrive,
To gather in this realm of black,
Not one will you find here alive...
†
For some this  a season to celebrate,
For them, a festive time of the year,
With lights and trees and songs,
But to us it brings only tears...
†
Happiness is only a figment,
Nothing we could ever achieve,
No matter what others may tell you,
It is only for those who believe...
†
Our world dark and empty and black,
Shared only with those who have cried,
We will never matter to anyone,
In the darkness is where we died...
†
The choice wasn't ours to surrender,
Nor was it ours to be praised,
We were born into a life of despair,
It is simply the way we were raised...
†
While other celebrate the falsehood,
With presents and gifts from the stores,
On black Friday they shove and they scream,
But they treat us like we are the whores...
†
I would rather be doomed to the darkness,
Than live a moment in their lies,
Being poor is not we chose,
But at least we were proud, when we died...
†
The mainstream just has not realized,
That we were all born only to die,
The only truth manifested,
Death is the only promise of life...
†
So live how you may but remember,
The darkness is where our souls dwell,
It is only a matter of time now,
Until death brings to you it's spell...
†
We may live in the realms of the darkness,
But at least we can raise our heads,
You'll walk with yours lowered in shame,
Welcome to the dungeons of the dead...
†
So remember this holiday season,
It may not be all that it seems,
If you forget the reason it's here,
Death will bring you right here with me...
