THE DELIRIUM OF HUBRIS
I'm not me, I'm not here,
There only exists a mask that hides my true self,
No emotions, only pretense,
A charade to blend into a world I cannot feel.

A man walking in the endless void of darkness,
Haunted by shadows that whisper my name.
I wish to see the world burn,
To feel the searing warmth on my face,
To know that in the ashes, I found my deepest desire.
If life is meaningless, I am the one who bestows meaning,
A god of this realm, mediator over life and death,
A puppet master pulling strings in a theater of the absurd.
I am the storm that rages within,
I am the silence that follows the tempest,
I am... and I... am nothing.
