Can you see it? Of course you can.
It's the monster lying beneath the lies.
The rhetoric shields it and so do the spies.
Everyone flocks to this world of the dead
so look away again...
You can try and find yourself another friend
but you wont...
Because this world has nothing to offer.
Nothing but a crying girl in the corner.
Wishing and dreaming but never receiving
even an inkling that there may be release.
Because you can't have release here, only retreat.
A coward's running and a wise man's cunning.
We mere zygotes convulse in agony,
tripping the wires of our own devices.
Sending the arrows towards our vital organs
to make an example of our ideals.
They have every intent to butcher us in this world.
This world of pink champaigne, of acid coated brains,
this world where the men and the cats are insane.
And why shouldn't they be?
Have you ever spent one waking day here
or even considered the unadulterated fear
of the tortued children trapped inside
of these T.V. episodes where no one can hide?
It's like... an underground land of zombies.
A cemetary where the civilized cannot belong.
Where you try to overcome with shouting and song
but in the end you fall, bleeding, to the floor.
This is the zenith of your life.
The grotesque collage of all your existance.
So make your speeches or sweat from the sidelines
because, eventually, they'll get their hands on your mind.
They will make you blind and your teeth will grind,
but somehow you come out thinking you're fine.
You'll self destruct over the pain you forgot
and I do pray that you blood will clot.
I do... because it's falling on all of us.
In a steady metronomical drip.
A rhythme that will make you tear out your hair,
rip up your wrists, scream to a false god, and ball up your fists!
Never apologize for the world through your eyes.
It's beautiful...
In an indescribable way. In an indestructable way.
And for us chosen few, we with the Angel Choirs,
we are the only ones that dont sell our souls.
For us this world is hilarious, a circus of trauma.
A carnival where everyone is screaming
and we're just caught up dreaming.
A pretty world... with bright lights flashing from every angle.
Don't you wish you could hear the angels?
They're beautiful. I wish you could see.
But they hate you... so much. But they love me.
That's why they wont leave.
That's why they give me this peace, this bliss, this...this...this glory!
Don't worry, you don't have to listen to my story.
Don't feel pity or connection
because, in the end, you're the source of the infection.
You know you are...
So can you see it? Of course you can.
Because you are stuck in the sand of this land

- Title: Angels in a Child's Mind
- Artist: SilvertongueSagittarius
- Description: this is about me growing up as a child with paranoid schitzophrenia. It's a hard thing to describe but I grew up as a Catholic so when I was young, I would always call the voices "angels." It's a term that stuck. It's kind of become a joke now. It is a horrible life but I am happy now. Im strongly against psychiatric meds and me and my lovely gf live a great life w/out them(she's bipolar)

- Perfect diction and imagery - I especially liked the idea of wishing blood would clot, because it steadily dripping on you. The poem is so genuine and visceral that it makes me sad, but I was touched by the message to "Never apologize for the world through your eyes," because - although it can see from your description that it wasn't metaphorical for you - the comment gave me hope that a person can somehow keep a semblance of purity or goodness in a dark and tainted world. A vivid piece.

- I liked the way everything is set up, the words seem to like... I don't know, fit together? Possibly the propper words. But I did like this one very much. 5/5 Very unique.

- I really enjoy the scheme you have going in this one. Good beat. Have you ever heard of Blue October? This reminds me of their music. 5
