Unable To Open My Eyes
Behind closed doors lurks a different monster
Not the one that’s portrayed on every livestream
Playing off this charade that’s been getting over
Moving forward with the logistics of the scheme
Heartless in the belief of satisfying his shallow ego
We’re all human pawns on a maniacal chessboard
Plotting how to conquer and slay every single rival
Every attempt at peace will be maliciously ignored
Loyalty is rewarded while the insubordinate suffer
Transparent souls are met with an untimely demise
Brutal stench of death abominates a careless wind
Praying it's all a dream but unable to open my eyes

Late night musing. Ever notice if you dive down rabbit-holes frequently enough, that somehow they will eventually invade your subconscious dreams. Appreciate you.

" I'm the one you never see, in the dead of night
Peeking in your window, staying out of sight
Go to bed, lock the door, don't look in the mirror
What if I was right behind you,
Smiling like a killer"

Your honesty in this piece is truly inspiring. I think we all have learned to show our best sides and hide our darkness. Yet poets need darkness to be able to write. I've written and posted some deeply personal pieces when I found my "fuck it, this is me" vibe. Having said that: I don't think anyone know or sees what's beneath the ink we share.
Love this one, Damian, it's beautiful in its honesty - also: the image pairs perfectly.

Couldn't agree with you more, Duende. I always enjoy your commentary. Thanks for reading. Honored as always to make your RL. Appreciate you.

Nicely Done 👍 that thought of the rabbit hole 🕳️ in the sense of trying desperately to escape, from the darkness that lures below the deepness of the rabbit hole 🕳️🐺 WOLF BAY 🐺🪬

Well, this poem does show how loyalty can make you blin to what is really going on and that if we can only step back, we can see the whole picture.

I hear you, they do get heavy, Naaj. It's easy to alienate others, when you're swimming in blood infested waters. Thanks for reading. Honored to make your RL. Appreciate you.
