The Path Unraveled
Every step forward requires something to be faced
The Ringmaster
Dark Side of Cotton Candy
I am irresistible.
I am seductive.
Step inside my world and you will experience thrills beyond measure.
But leave your soul at the door…
because once you enter, I will devour it whole.
The only way into my world
is to leave yourself behind.
Everything that follows… begins here.
Fresh Contamination
Everyone has a skeleton to face
I am the part of you you tried to leave behind.
The choices you buried… the truth you refused to name.
I don’t disappear when you look away.
I wait. I follow. I grow louder in the silence.
I will scare you until you face me.
Because I am not here to haunt you
I am here to be seen.
The Reckoning
The GateKeeper
The Poltergeist Clown
I am the monster under your bed
The voice that fills your mind with fear.
The more you feed me,
the stronger I become.
I can keep you still.
I can keep you small.
I can keep you from becoming.
You think I will always win
because you refuse to face me.
But I am not your end.
I am the threshold.
And the only thing that can stop me…
comes from within.
Inside the Box
The only reality that exists… is inside of me.
The internal observer.
The one outside can never enter
yet I gave them the power
to define who I am.
I let them shape me.
Shrink me.
The further I go inside the box,
the less air there is to breathe.
I was never meant to fit here.
Not being myself… is my hell.
My Picasso heart is shattered
distorted into something unrecognizable.
And the only way to mend it…
is to break out of the box
and become what I was always
meant to be
The Truth Seeker
The Container
Love Unfit
A bucket full of bullet holes
is impossible to fill.
You can pour forever
and nothing will remain.
For love to exist,
there must be two whole containers.
Not one giving.
Not one empty.
But two… capable of holding.
Giving to someone
who cannot receive
will drain the vessle dry
Love unfit
is a poltergeist that keeps you still. Because what cannot hold love
cannot be filled
House of Screaming Mirrors
The Reflection
I see my reflection
and don’t even recognize myself.
I am pieces
of what everyone wanted me to be
leaving me scattered,
shattered…
I became
what they needed to see.
So I kept looking outward
for something strong enough
to hold me together.
I can no longer live this lie.
I am trapped.
And there is no way out.
Every direction I turn
collapses into illusion.
The floor shifts beneath me.
Every truth bends
Every lie looks straight
My perspective shifts
And I begin to see
nothing I believed
was ever real
was ever real.
The Reflected Self
The Uncaged Self
House of Screaming Mirrors
Uncaged
I can’t outrun a monster
that lives in my skin.
So I shattered every reflection of me
until nothing remained
but what was caged inside.
I reached into my heart for the key…
and unlocked the truth.
Not the version I was shown.
Not the one I was shaped to be.
The truth of who I am.
I chose myself.
I carved my own path.
And I finally saw it
The mirrors never trapped me.
They only revealed
The one who did.
