This is not my true nature.
I was not born as what I have come to be.

To be gentle again...

~

An angel's heart given flight by demons' wings faces certain death.

~

Do not let this exterior deceive you.
I can easily crush your spirit.
My wounds bleed truth,
Their voices are caustic,
And with the words...
A nasty sting from aim and precision of fact.

"How can you be so cruel?"

It is not who I am,
As it is the hate I feel.

~

I am a demon,
A vicious fiend.
Let me alone.
I am a demon with a penchant
For others' misery.
I am a demon,
A vicious fiend.
Let me alone
In peace
To be the beast of a man
The world has made me.

~

I am prepared to fight humanity every day
For the rest of my life.
Albeit, my mind and body
Yearn for tranquility.

People that should earn my love
Consistently warrant my hate.
I truly resent this.

~

Breathe easy, friend.
Let not bitter fruit sour your breath.
You were once a gentleman.

~

When friends fail,
And mother is gone;
When god is silent,
And mates fall out of love...
I still wake to confrontation,
Alone, and unflinching.

I am not simply strong,
I may very well be the strongest man
That ever lived.
