I Hope

How could you love innocence when you never loved yourself?  
How do you withhold a hate that reflects in the mirror?  
Never looked at the sketched paintings behind these words  
Tried to bleach these writings on the wall into confinement
Just to smears emotions into a hazed darkness  
Incinerated walls showing the gateway to true evil  
 
I hope you choke on guilt  
That I can't swallow  
I hope you are blinded by trauma  
That I can't hide  
I hope you hear all this hate  
That I can't silence  
I hope these guided words haunt what you call a soul  
 
I'm coming at you with all these well deserved intentions  
With new sight shedding the beauty in these trees  
The thought of you used to set forests ablaze  
Do these tears have color from your fallen empire?  
Or does denial still roam those exhumed bones?  
I'm unleashing this psyche to prey on the heartless  
 
I hope you feel all the pain  
That I won't suffer anymore  
I hope you see all the truth  
That I won't bury anymore  
I hope you kill the lies  
That I won't take anymore  
I hope these guided words haunt what you call a soul  
 
Know that you can't control the disconnected  
Know that this fire will cast light on that shadow  
Know that this pulse will beat to crumble your core  
Know I was never yours & will always be I
