Rote

Obsession turns addiction
 the skin a masochist playground
 in which I illustrate emotion
 through physical deformation
 pain is unfelt
 Bodily desire overwhelms the consciousness
 the need to express myself
 rational thought paralysed by
 artistic difference
 my compulsion must be brought
 to obscurity
 Of art I carve my skin
 seperation of thought
 involuntary actions
 The head torn apart
 overlapped by skin
 digits cut short
 Lips sewn together
 tongue cut apart
 these are my actions
 Held together by rods
 eyelids peeled back
 conclusion by rote
 Altering ego questions
 exercise now done
 body will now alter
 consciousness succumbs
 The masterpiece now forgiven
 The final word unveiled
 a sudden decay is now revealed
 the body now done
 Obsession turns addiction
 the skin a masochist playground
 in which I illustrate emotion
 through physical deformation
 pain is unfelt.
