BAD WOLF
The lunacy blooms deeper inside.
Destroying the faith within, eating away the pride.
Hiding behind those starless eyes, plastic smiles take their shape
And the lost soul, now still, is hiding within what appears fake.
The world is now upside down, as my mind is switched to another place, and fused of sound.
The wolf has consumed.
