Others

What may have once been may still occur...
Let you not forget my existence...
I am you, a part of you.

ACKNOWLEDGE ME!!!

Lock me away, try as you might
I am the murderer, the arsonist, the rapist that resides in all of mankind; inside you.
You are not above my influence.

I take that which is thrown at you:
the hate, the disgust, the rejection
and I shield you from it, I hold them
while they burn so you may not be scarred and pained,
yet you are. I am a part of you.

Why do you not let me make my own fire?
Why am I not allowed to strike back?
What is so precious to you that I may not be unleashed in full?

These walls that contain me are only of will,
One day they may crumble. I will be waiting.
I am the architect of your damnation:
I will be the monument to your sins.
