hell hounds.

when i was young, i was jealous easily.

that's a lie. after many years, i'm still jealous.

but when i fell from the earth

i was deemed punishment

and so it started

they kept on taking

taking what i prided most

my talents, my pastimes,

they pined for more

taking away my life, until

i was no longer jealous that they could

take away everything.

they took it all, the joy, the pain

even my name, my memories

at first arrival

there were fires and shadows

and all the interesting things

now there are none

it's just a dark abyss.
