I wish to sleep in the rain
I want to tear the flesh off my face and reform it something loosely into the form of beauty.
Storms of sorrow rage inside a hollow brain while waves splash against the sides and pull away sanity as if it was sand. Those stuck in this torturous storm clutch at the waves as you would a blanket waking up from a nightmare.
I cannot wake from this nightmare.
I wish to leave my mortal body as a pursuit of the cleansing of the soul. I never liked this body. It is claimed of the merciless moon who sings a solemn song of pain that harbors in its host's words. It sings of those who are helpless.
I feel helpless.
I have no faith to rely on, no voice to sing with, no talent to allow me to be known.
I want to be known.
I am not known.
I want to leave this monster of a body.
I want to sleep in the rain so I may cleanse my soul of mortal sins and breathe once again.
It is all I want.
But I have been taught wanting does you no good.
And I do not know what to do.
So I do nothing.
