To weak

by Matt L   Feb 17, 2008


To be a man one must be strong
In mind, in body, in soul
Therefore I am not a man

A mind cracked
Roots of weeds holding me breaking me
Sane madness consumes life
Forever starving

A body ruined
Scars, boils, warts, cancers growing
Beautiful imperfection
An image of hell

A soul forsaken
No God to love this slug-like soul
Heretical dedication to a truthful God

Less than man more than human
An savage in a civilized body
Trapped and tormented
Freedom bound in rags
