I Finally


Tears and blood become one as I walk,
On an everlasting broken road
The light dimmers as I proceed,
Allowing darkness to surround me
 
Judgements shield by my hands,
Inject pain and become bruises
Accusations cracked my back,
And created a door for guilt
 
My knees bleed from begging,
All they desired was acceptance
My appearance becomes my disguise,
Allowing me to finally blend in
 
As I keep walking dark shadows posses the road
Their screeching and guffaws foster oxygen
The cold air warmths me
My surroundings accompany me
 
The shadows creep towards me
Using their whispers to penetrate into my brain,
Taking over my cerebrum
My lungs become addicted to the air
My mouth mimics their sounds
 
As I look down at my reflection on the water,
I see my appearance becoming theirs
I walk away with unwanted satisfaction in my face,
Because I’m now the same as them
