my legacy is chaos

i am made of scar tissue and second hand bones;

the hand me downs of disgraced angels

featherless and fallen

and so from their devastating craters in the earth

i have arisen

with the intent to devastate

///

do not blame me for the matches i may strike,

and within the rubble of the cities i am to burn down

i pray you do not divine my initials

carved into a blossoming charcoal hatred

as my hunger to watch the world perish

is merely by design

///

lucifer's kind is my kind (cut me; i bleed hellfire)

but your kind, i know, is unforgivingly incapable

of sympathising with the devil

so i shall seek no redemption in your hearts

rather, i will crush them in my bare hands

to find that all you bleed is mercy

///

though i am tired, i refuse to rest

until i appease the ghosts in these second hand bones

how they crave unholiness, how they give me purpose

exorcise me, please do not exorcise me

i will not sleep with a legacy unfulfilled

and my legacy is chaos
