Kintsugi Poets Society BlogHop - Day 3: Henry's Inner Demons
Broken memories. Twisted dreams.
Shattered hopes. Tortured screams.
These elements have given birth to a new society of dark poetry…
Turning dark cracks & broken fragments into golden seams of poetry
So come join us…
In the darkness…
If you dare.

So join me in darkness once more, as the Kintsugi Poets Society continues this Grand Launch Bloghop of Dark Poetry – 21st July to 28th July, where we, Kintsugi members, will be posting dark poetry on our blogs and the Kintsugi Poets site.
Today, continuing the Bloghop's theme of darkness, I reveal some more "poetry" from the forthcoming musical story/album The Calling, which tells the back-story to my horror/thriller novel The Dark Horde via the final words of one of the central characters, Henry Wilcox.
Henry is haunted by inner demons... literally.
More to come soon! Enjoy!

VICTIM
It isn’t me nor what I planned
I’m victim to a force that takes command
They rule my thoughts and force my hand
Why does no one understand?
Save me I pray, from this fate
I did not want and did not create
My prayers go unanswered, what can I do?
They will destroy me and destroy you
Nobody sees, nobody knows
Where anger feeds and malice grows
Hate in my heart, fire in my brain
What is fantasy and what is sane?
They will destroy me and destroy you
How can I live, when this is true?
All hope is lost, I want to die
To end it all, but fear to try
Helpless, abandoned, victim am I
Night has fallen, dark is the sky
Darkness through which I cannot see
Darkness corrupts inside of me
Malignant, eternal, a hidden blight
Casting life into deepest night
Black in mind, black in heart
Slowly tearing our souls apart
There’s no escape that I can see
The Dark Horde are, will always be
They come for me, they come for you
The Dark Horde are, their time is due
