Lost Souls Sonnet

I've ignored all reality has shown

The factors not quite understood by man

My lack of such has increasingly grown

Expressing them the only way I can.

Though fear and dread engulf me like the wind,

I have welcomed them with an open mind

Patiently waiting for messages sent

The paradise of hell losing pastime.

The simple bliss they get when others die

It all unconsciously drives me wild

Though many others fear the likes of I

I carry the heart of a small child.

What they ignore, the abyss will soon see

The spirits of demons dwell within me.
