Cruel, A Darker Shade
Published in
Mar 23, 2024
What a difference just a few words can make…
Today,
I shall be cruel.
I shall quiet the timid
voices of reason.
I shall find hunger
in the dark place
where once a soul lived.
I shall seek out the food
that lies
at the heart of adoration.
I shall feed
on its hope.
I shall feed
on its hate.
I shall feed
on its fear.
I shall devour it all,
tear its flesh,
drink its spirit,
gnaw on its bones,
smile,
and savor it all.
Because I can.
Yes.
Today.
Cruel.
A game.
Tomorrow,
Another day,
Another channel,
A new game to play.
Because I can.

Better Late than Never. Never Give Up.
