Mellevon Iodine
Escape into the darkness;
I must break free from this cage.
Soulless eyes, they burn inside
With fear and anguished rage.
This place is full of hatred
And I must leave it behind.
Toxic breath and stinking death
Still linger in my mind.
When all the world is fast asleep,
I'll escape into the night.
I will sleep beneath the stars,
And when I wake, I'll see the light.
Tonight, I bite the hand that feeds me
Nightmares on a plate.
I will greet the waiting world,
Even if they come to hate me.
I try to think, but all the memories
Remaining are fire in my mind.
Stay away! The poison dripping
From your eyes is liquid Iodine.
Now, I run for shelter,
Seeking sweet respite.
My thoughts laid bare, I will not fare.
I have no strength to fight.
What use is this vessel,
This form of untapped might?
What use at all if I take the fall
And meet my end tonight?
Fire floods the blackest night;
Burn my eyes just with the sight.
I see the forest falling down
Right before my eyes.
A phantom burning from my past;
But I will not succumb so fast.
No element will hold me back,
And I will claim my prize.
“What you're experiencing is anxiety.”
I try to escape, but all the memories
Remaining are fire in my mind.
Stay away! The searing pain your
Presence brings is something I despise.
Now I can think. Despite the flames
That live inside, I feel like I'll be fine.
Stay away! My wounds are healing.
I don't need you, so keep your Iodine.
