As I chase my shadow, the light is bound to depart.
I need my
madness,
without it I’m dead.
Layers of prayer
couldn’t pay that debt.
Cold sweat and shivers,
red reflecting mirrors,
the will to obey
withered away.
Now it’s
just me on the other side,
the old hag, full of wrath and pride,
- an after effect of the overdrive.
The maiden
she did override,
the child she did leave to die.
Numb to their cries,
a silence she provides.
Well equipped with alibis,
she rips apart my paradise,
a crystal frame for festered lies.
She smirks
while I lay,
my shadow she tries to portray,
takes the decay from my veins,
uses my warmth,
turns it into fire and pain.
Oh how she
betrays!
Oh, the riddles she places in my way!
Lost in the voices she sends to me,
thoughts of the hopeless and their misery,
a growing mess of mutiny,
ALL THAT IS TWISTED MUST BE FREE.
That’s
what they scream as she sends them to me
- ALL THAT IS TWISTED MUST BE FREE!
And the seer shows himself clear, plants a seed, a seed in me:
“ When
night is near and I reappear – sing to me.
And when you meet fear – sing to me, dear.
When you sing, chaos you bring.
When you sing to me, in chaos I find infinity. “

I think it's great that you execute a "melodramatic" poem so well. I can tell that you got into the character and put a lot of thought into it, it's so creative, and written very well. you're an amazing poet!
