Image for the poem gawk

gawk

 
find me in my wasteland
looking awkward and depraved
beautiful light shining so darkly
hateful being of envy looking at everything shiny
gawking at what I want

I crave a pureness of soul
it will never be mine
I'm not blind
it takes an innocence I don't have
corrupted thoughts don't lie
my senses aroused by horror

turn a trick over in my mind
finding fascination in the damned
I wish I was beautiful
I'm not

I hurt

on the inside I hunt
I scour for truth with blood on my hands
scribbling blasphemies while I pray
i'm down on my knees asking forgiveness
while my demons prophesy my torture
