animal
there is a dark animal under my skin..
his surface is black..
he likes to breathe smoke and the exhaust of trains..
he sits on his thrown..
a wheelchair..
left broken and in pieces..
trying to figure out how to proceed now in this state..
having failed at destroying the temple..
with a legion of hatred and demons being held back as if with a dam..
he growls at the clocks and the people of light..
he stares at the little girls with an infuriating lust and hunger he can't even stomach..
it makes his lips tremble..
he is a dark animal..
with nowhere to go..
his name is jack..
jack wants the fuck out the of box..
his surface is black..
he likes to breathe smoke and the exhaust of trains..
he sits on his thrown..
a wheelchair..
left broken and in pieces..

it makes his lips tremble..
he is a dark animal..
with nowhere to go..
his name is jack..
jack wants the fuck out the of box..

destroying the temple.. in the bible our bodies are the temple.. also in eastern philosophy that I got into for a while talk about chakras and energy points in the body.. when i was trying to commit suicide i stabbed myself in several of the general areas where the energy points are suppose to be.. so since I didnt die i failed at destroying myself.. the body.. the temple

The final two lines are darkly witty. Like the idea of the animal under the skin. Reminds me of how Churchill described his depression as the "black dog". The lines about the "exhaust of trains" was beautiful and weirdly resonant, whilst the narrative was evoked with startling clarity.

yes I actually drew a picture of jack.. coming out of a box.. it was a very intense drawing.. jack was infuriated you could see it as he exited the box.. like a pandora jack in the box.. lol.. i dont know if i posted it on deviant art but ill try to send it to you somehow.. yeah when i was near my melt down i would chase trains and breathe in the smoke it was an evil time i was going through like i told you about the other time on shrooms and the devil in the mirror
