the mirror spoke
to the soul of Aryn
in a deadening cause of fashion
he could feel the reflective's
displeasure
at his careless trespass upon
its rapturous staring
in a gargling whoosh
there were gashing spools
of snarled wire in his hair
spikes spitting out from his eyes
with long, dirty, sharp needles
bloodletting his foolishly unchecked lips
Aryn knew not how to mend nor expunge
such inadvertent foul deed
as his
without damaging his precarious predicament
any further
true evil
without welcome it would seem
had entered
to wed with Aryn's unhappy thoughts
poor gutted Aryn
he must so be missing
the days afar
when he still could claim
and quite truthfully so
sole possession
of his very own
thoughts
choices
and yes indeed
even soul
twistedly layered
hate spewing lyrics
the witchery of many
our soldiers of meek
our overly in rank tortured
today
the mistrustful ostracized youth
high school's own hell born..........
