Bliss and Madness

I bid the world goodbye
For I don’t see purpose anymore
In staying any longer
Here with my so-called life

A lot of things I’ll surely miss
The fiery vivacity of rainbows
The comfort of the pouring rain
The mystery of the starry night

I happily leave the things I hate
The bewitching spell of vices
The alluring charm of sin
The eternal vortex of chaos

Oh how I’d miss them all
People who have pained me well
People who have loved me true
People who have changed me

The things I had so adored
Far more outweigh those I abhor
As friendship overcomes betrayal
Love overruling hatred

Still the time has come
For me to peacefully depart
From this torn life that existed
In this world of bliss and madness

A Corpse's Eulogy

Inside of me
Are the maggots feeding
Sucking out
My flesh and blood

Drowned screams
No one seems to hear
Calloused hands
No one seems to reach out to

Pitied glances
Falsely thrown my way
Words of consolation
Insincerely uttered to me

You insolent fools
How dare you think
I could actually be moved
By your pretentiousness

I am diseased
Yet you refuse to see
I am dying
But you do not believe

Soon I’ll rise up above
My charred remains
Soaring over everyone else
Flying out to oblivion
