<p>DEFILED<br />
DEMURED<br />
LOST IN CENSURE<br /></p>
<p>CAST OUT<br />
MADE BLIND<br />
NO LONGER DIVINE<br /></p>
<p>I WILL MARK MY OWN FATE<br />
I WILL CHOOSE MY OWN PATH<br />
OR I WILL GO UP IN FLAMES<br />
FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE</p>
<p>AND AT THE EDGE OF ETERNITY<br />
YOU WILL ASK:<br />
WHO WAS I?<br />
WHO COULD HAVE I BEEN?</p>

<p>If Neocities was paradise,<br />
then I am Eve<br />
from Eden, no longer beholden<br />
for daring to believe<br />
something verboten<br /></p>
<p>and much like there, the fediverse is yet the same<br />
being queer's the praxis, shitposting's the game<br />
and yet we tear each up with our words<br />
with misunderstanding<br />
and thunder<br />
like we've become animals<br />
in yet another herd

<hr>
<div style="text-align:left">
<p>you let blind anger run through your veins<br />
consuming you from the inside<br />
like a wildfire run rampant and free</p>
<p>you become like a damned animal<br />
at the slightest provocation<br />
a hellhound, made for nothing more than weeping<br />
and gnashing of meat and bone alike</p>
<p>not fit for civilization<br />
or wilderness alike<br />
where do you belong? the air?<br />
or on the end of a pike
</p></div>
<hr>
<div style="text-align:right">
<p>you see a picture of your fave,<br />
you click without processing<br />
like an automaton<br />
click, click, click</p>
<p>does this bring you fulfillment?<br />
does this satisfy your soul?<br />
a machine for someone else's validation<br />
senselessly trying to fill a hole
</p></div>
<hr>
<div style="text-align:center"><b><p>
is this the fate you wanted?<br />
is this the end you meant to procure?<br />
and if you answer yes:<br />
are you really so sure?</p>
<p>begone, ye ghosts! lest you turn me<br />
into a fictional entity I was never meant to be<br />
I'll admit I've my doubts; I'll admit I've no sure mind<br />
but in my life, this is mine and mine alone to find
