Balance

Who is the phantom behind the mask,

A dark figure haunting grim task,

The shadow watches ever so eager,

Views all life as shallow and meager,

Isn't it futile the voice must whisper,

Battle the taunts but they seep through crisper,

Close your eyes to see their heart,

It's in the darkness the evil must start,

From the void the taint emerges,

Wicked tongue spill sordid surges,

To uncover this demon I must look deeper,

Is it really me or a dark passenger,

Clawing inside ferocious with laughter,

How fortunate it seems equally to me,

The hero within can overcome easily,

Always a step ahead and waiting to strike,

And when the evil might seem to conquer,

The good inside slowly grows stronger,

Standing atop a mountain of morals,

The hero casts down his righteous quarrel,

And to the end two sides exist,

Infinite balance but the struggle persists

Mountain

Drift into the other world,

Unleash desire witness unfurled,

Pierce the illusion to take control,

Is this my body or a glimpse into soul,

Strange nostalgia although alien,

I've seen you before if I'm not mistaken,

Tread on roads through infinity infinitely,

We stop to appreciate the view from above,

Pulled away far too soon it's never enough,

Awaken reality but hang onto the memory,

Replay it vividly but simply not the same,

Where once I existed and surely was gifted,

Is now a vague piece to this immaculate design,

Pulled apart with precision to bestow this vision,

An incision so clever no lack of regard,

Tumble faster through these tunnels toward,

An invisible truth on the top of the mountain,

Sacred in silence serene as silken fountain,

Carry the weight of the world but still climbing,

Slowly I get closer to the peak inviting,

I lay my hand on the pinnacle expect revelation,

Meaning of life perhaps or divine intervention,

But the rock is cold and dead no message is said,

I try to awake but fail to release from slumber,

As it would seem the clock strikes a familiar number,

The distant chime to signal and beckon,

Forever I sleep never to see the world again

Medicine

Once again time for my medicine,

Make sure to administer with care,

Savor each morsel not a bit to spare,

Must repair jagged nerves filled despair,

Pins and needles tickles raw skin,

Body says stop but mind won't give in,

Driven to madness but no reparation,

This process is numb ignore everyone,

Microchip implant to upgrade brain,

Hands are pistons pump precision no pain,

Scan the horizon for valid information,

Input the data with a familiar routine,

Engraved bar-codes riddle my flesh and vein,

Malfunction surge this directive purge,

Organism found parasitic must terminate,

The virus burrowed deep but far too late,

Found before it seemed to settle,

Soundly tore the flesh from metal,

Critical fail life-source growing frail,

Vital signs dark must diagnose,

The familiar virus clarity arose,

Remnants of humanity I suppose,

Sabotaged this form now end seems close,

Administer medicine for one final dose
