A Poem by Syke

Metaphysical Poetry

"

I stare into the sky and silently plead why? Why?! WHY?!!?

 

My soul screams its fury for no one to hear

 

For I refuse to believe, to accept

 

That You, YOU!!! could exist or care in the slightest

 

For why else would you ignore my prayers, my pleading, if you existed?

 

Why would you taunt me with pain and torture?

 

What sick pervert would give me the ability to see and understand the ignorance, No! the IDIOCY! of the masses

 

And in the same act grant me understanding

 

and even worse compassion and empathy for those whom have shown only the worst of affection for me!

 

Curse me with the greatest strength of mind

 

The weakest body you could find

 

You have proven you don't care

 

You have shown you only hate

 

And so I deny You!

 

I deny everything you've done

 

and yet

 

I embrace everything you are

 

If you have kept the love of my

 

mind, body heart soul

 

From yet being returned you must have a plan

 

You must have someone out there

 

Someone meant for me and me alone

 

Yet how can I be sure?

 

I would give anything to gain the turn of my love, but you keep me back

 

You know it will never be returned

 

Or so I comfort myself

 

Yet I know there is a fatal flaw

 

If I deny you

 

I accept that you are there to be denied

 

If I ask you

 

Will you tell me what to do

 

Help me win a chance with maiden fair

 

Or will you continue testing me

 

Testing me for the future

 

Yet if I must endure these trials in preparation for the future

 

Is it a future I want?

 

One in which I am hated and ostracized

 

Forced to pour my soul into the safety, protection, nurturing

 

Of those who have been my jailers

 

And only relented

 

When I became more powerful then ALL OF THEM!!!

 

Force to rely only on myself

 

When you should have given me someone! Her! She! Part of my torment?

 

Part of my trials?

 

Or a risk, a chance, a possibility I am not brave enough for?

 

Is she doom or salvation?

 

I am not even brave enough to say her name

 

I may have once been strong

 

But not strong enough to say her name

  

Now some would say YOU gave me strength!

 

But they are foolish and wrong

 

I am the one with strength

 

You require ME! to stand

 

For without your eternal control

 

Without your slaves forcing you on others

 

Giving no one a REAL choice

 

You are nothing.

 

We speak and think

 

Then and only then do you exist

 

We called you into being from nothing

 

And I think we should return you

 

You source of faith, of hatred, of fear

 

I am a source of love and tolerance capable of creation and beauty

 

YOU however, are an ugly creature of the deepest most primal regions of our minds

 

You are a puppet and I am the master

 

I! I SHALL MAKE YOU PAY!

 

For each wrong you've caused I will return tenfold

 

I will give you the ultimate suffer of LIFE with full interest

 

You know that we created you

 

You created me

 

And you know the cost is only fair

 

But you know I can't pay

 

I am truly Pathetic!

 

A creature incapable of true malice

 

I will be great

 

And I WILL be remembered

 

And you will always wonder what could have been

 

All those whose allegiance is to peace

 

To love

 

To hope

 

The destruction of illusion, the end of ignorance

 

RISE UP!

 

RISE UP WITH ME!

 

Together we are unstoppable

 

We will Force the termination of war

 

We will insure that man points out, not in, If only for a moment

 

Think how glorious that moment would be

 

There is hope for us still, but it is fading

 

It's 5 minutes to midnight

 

But we can push time back

 

We can MAKE TIME STAND STILL!

 

We are the hope of the present

 

The dashed dreams of the past

 

But do we have a chance at a future?
