I destroy myself to give birth to me again,

I incinerate my entire being 

To rise up from the ashes again,

I hide to occupy the vastest of spaces,

I talk of reason & enlightenment 

To conceal chaos brewing inside me,

I keep silent so that my soul can roar like a lion,

I plant trees in my garden everyday to trim

Cancerous weeds growing inside

My vaulted ribcage,

I sheathe my daggers to slash

The monsters and the doppelgängers

Taking abode in me,

I shed tears in the dark 

To scream like harpies inside my skull

And call forth the all-devouring tempest

Through the incantation

Of the anthem of wreckage & destruction,

I offer to maintain peace & harmony

To go spiralling into mayhem, 

I smile to die a thousand death,

I crumble like the Judgement day

To resurrect myself in countless pieces

From the lifeless dusts and rubble,

From dead cells and rusty barbed wires,

From the outcries buried tracelessly

“cages”

and he builds cages from words on pages striking inked bars to hide behind building a tome of cleverly scripted cages to protect his mind from the rage of this day and age but only now does he understand his words in black dripping from his hands are a rod for his back realising that he has written himself a prison cell and is now incarcerated in his self penned hell
