Demons Want Equality

While everyone is fighting for success
You and I should have stayed together in ruin

I wanted to give everything up and be with you

Days spent rotting in bed. I could have done that with you for the rest of my life and been happy.

But then one night you said this wasn’t going to last forever.

And ambition suffocated me again.
Envy, wrath, and greed took their rightful place within me

Desire.

She said I will be back and she waited for me even though I betrayed her for you.

She still welcomed me back in her embrace.

Our half-hearted love made me bitter.
At that point I would rather you hated me
I would rather you wanted me dead
Because at least I know your full heart was in it.

Now look at the world around us.
So much uncertainty
Fragile relationships
Empty experiences

I am losing everything and everyone that
Mean something to me because of societal expectations I failed to meet.

Expectations that wanted to split my family, bring discourse and envy amongst friends.

And see people as either benefits or hindrances in our lives.

I came back because I didn’t want to accept and make peace with this world

I came back because I want revenge
