Caution! Soul

I wanted a better home
My paradise never existed
So I shut my eyes forever,
Surrendered to a blade of metal
My soul fell through the ground
Tumbled off the earth, like the flight of wind
I landed like a lost comet
Onto a ground with no mercy
Sharp edges dug into my meatless bones
Echoing screams roared and united
The air was fiery
So I took off my sweaty bones
And lay them in a pile
I stood up and saw a new world
Colorless, hazy and dark
In the centre lived a fire
That was overwhelming and destructive
It looked at me with evil thoughts
As if I were its new sustenance
A figure slowly emerged from the fire’s shadow
I felt its darkness all over me
Its presence was commanding
It greeted me with a howl
And departed with a blow to my spirit
I could not escape the beatings
There would be no way out
My welcome was unliveable
My pain unspeakable
But I need not speak
I shed tears of blood
Now the initiation was complete
I was a wretched thorn
And this smoky terrible place was my home...
