The Best Poem Of John West

Ruination

I live the definition of insanity, am I truly insane
I lash out in anger and profanity, am I viewed with disdain

I care not of the resentment or shame
I seek not forgiveness nor blame

I want not exception or absolution
I go thru nothing short of an evolution

I travel on this journey alone as I must
I fear nothing for myself as I shed this outer crust

I face a hard truth it was ignored too long
I always knew it I tried to stay strong

I wore the mantle the mask the lie
I expected to wear them till the day I die

I will leave a trail of human wreckage and ruined lives
I will cut and slice the hearts in my life...using dull knives

I will one day sit atop my hollow and rotted throne
I will reign over all I've wrought broken and alone

I lost my grip it was just a small slip
I can't go back it's a one way trip
