Triumph

In my earlier days when the beauty of earth and life appealed to me

Never thought that I would see the worst days being filled with rage and misery

From the thoughts hidden inside

Painful memories I cannot hide

For years seeing envy and jealousy

People picking and teasing

In a class that I never really liked

Growing up in Newark, New Jersey always prepared to fight

The terrible ills and the gloomy onset of melancholy

Depressing times those knew who were close to me

In my dark room all alone I suddenly began writing poetry

Every day I wrote experimenting as a lit fire started burning intensely

Misunderstood by my society until I fought back artistically

An Artist and warrior emerged from the shadows expressing consistently

Spirituality evolving against the forces that tried to contain me

Mentally rebelling constantly against the brain dead herd of sheep

They said I'm weird, strange, and deranged but if so let it be

Proud weirdo standing tall in the face of danger and adversity

Remembering in school when they picked and teased

Almost every day harshly and continuously

Until I've made them bleed and made their group weary

Now they can't believe I'm not dead

I've returned with a vengeance and many hearts are filled with terror and dread.

Filled with pain and rage

A monster awaiting to be released from my mental cage

Standing in the face of dangers laughing proudly

I am the one who has the last laugh laughing loudly

My past battles and deeds I haven't forgot

Neither have they, I am the force they could not stop

From fake friends to known jealous enemies I have made a plot

Tombstones with their name engraved as I triumphed to the top

Reaching beyond the clouds, past the stars I now oversee all

Becoming a more powerful being sitting upon a throne watching kingdoms fall

Many counted fates are now sealed

In the far reaches of my Gothic Graveyard grim truths are revealed
