Inside the Nine

As the feeling of hate swirled within me,
I came to realize the foundation
Of this world is nothing but damnation.
Enemy, show me what you wanna be.

I have longed to liberate my madness.
I don't understand the malice that makes
Me this way; what has happened for God's sakes?
What did I do to deserve all of this?

No matter how hard I tried, you lied to
Me for so long; I am Tattered & Torn.
This can't be the reason that I was born.
Pain was always free...and it waits for you.

Sadly, only one of us walks away.
I'll give you a hint; it surely isn't
That angry soul who defames on fine print.
Why is this the direction my life sways?

It's hard to stay between the lines of skin.
You don't matter; nobody matters here
Except me; the sole being that I fear.
Thank God I have found no one who's akin.

I'm in this maze...this psychopathic daze...
You can't even look me in the eye...
Well then, I shall exit; good day, goodbye.
Despite there is no escape from this maze.

Pain--made to order; I cannot abstain
From this feeling of animosity
I somehow disguise as temerity.
Yet all I have gained, felt, lived through...is pain.

Why must you keep mocking me for nothing?
Except my flaws, aesthetics, my stature...
Even though they're the only things left pure.
I can't do anything...not even sing.

Here comes that familiar feeling of
Hatred both towards myself and the world.
I thought about forgiveness once; I hurled.
Ditto for atonement, perfection, love...

I know you, ergo you know me, right? Wrong.
I'm totalitarian; leave me please.
If so, I might finally be at ease.
Oh how I wish to finally belong.

Hard to believe, but it is not so swell
To be hated; the thought of loneliness,
Being in a constant state of distress.
Now that I think about it; go to hell.

All of you, go to hell and burn, decease.
Not just to die, of course; to run far from
Me; to save you from becoming as dumb
As me...for I am cold, ugly...a disease.

Leave me in peace once; please, just once.
You've made into this...this...monster.
This beast whose goal is to just make you suffer.
I have not felt this befuddled in months...

For this, I have you to thank, you loser.
For making me hate myself over and
Over...when you are the one to hate; how grand.
My life keeps getting better and better.

You are a self-centered, ignorant prick.
I know you more than you think, you base ingrate.
Your power comes from self-loathing, mine, hate.
To be frank, the whole thing I think is (sic).

This is a stupid poetry assignment I had for English.

My English teacher haaaaaates Slipknot, and I haaaaaaaate him, so, of course, my poem is about my nine favorite men.
This poem is purely inspired by their first, enigmatic album. I believe their first album is the truest representation of who Slipknot is.
They're angry, they've been betrayed by loved ones, by life in general, but they're here, they're loud, and people are listening to their cries. If you haven't listened to their full first album, then I'm sorry, but you don't know who Slipknot is.
I used 1-2 lines of lyrics in each stanza. The various songs I used were:
742617000027
(Sic)
Liberate
Eyeless (paraphrased)
No Life (paraphrased)
Tattered & Torn (I don't really know if using just the title counts, but...yeah.)
Wait and Bleed
Only One
Scissors
Purity
Me Inside (paraphrased)
Diluted (paraphrased)

There is some paraphrasing from The Heretic Anthem and Everything Ends too, but I was mostly focused on their first album.

This is written in Memoriam stanza form, meaning ABBA, CDDC, EFFE, et cetera et cetera.

Enjoy? xD
