From Inside Out
Wounds, welts, buried in furthest
recesses, closed to prying eyes
Eternally shut, folded inward, fester,
feed upon the self
Raw silent rage, nail imprinted palms,
blood drips
Encrusted, stained, gnawed pierced
lips, blood runs
Tormented, lash marks festering in
psyche’s deepest dungeon
Held captive, hostage heart beats
corrosion through icy veins
Eyes blinded, to the flesh rotting from
the inside out
Insatiable cancers feeding greedily
upon bone marrow
Nerves inflamed, agony from below,
unreachable from above
Steady decay, gangrenous maggot filled
sores appear, run green
Incessant ravage, pieces die, fall away
unnoticed
Drip becomes deluge, pieces become
chunks
Essence of life fleeing, host refusing
to give credence
Oppressed functions accompanied by
mindless gibberish
Unconscious venting fails purpose,
putrid stench remains
Toxic internal disease escapes, spores
of evil erupt into space
Suspended, horrendous deadly still life
hung above carnage
Indeterminable damage set in motion by
Satan’s heated laugh
Decimated putrid carcass left lifeless,
parasitic fodder
Evil unleashed, freed to infect, all
from one pure being, broken
