Unbridled Fury: The Battle To Breathe
R Bennett Okerstrom
The unbridled fury within the realm of oneself will supercede the ability to rationalize any situation brought by deceit and deception. At the point of exhaustion, one will become so aware of his surroundings that he will actually become one with his surroundings and, therefore, escape the daggers thrust upon him by the disciples of death. The fury will quickly spread throughout the soul, showering the body with evil thoughts of decadence until the rage can no longer be contained. Those who have committed cajolery will be dealt with accordingly. Those who have seemingly loved will be spared. Enemies will be held impotent, unable to defend against the onslaught brought about by the pent up rage and fury of the beholder. The siege of trauma will engulf all those who have betrayed in the past, leaving nothing but decay in its path. The cocoon of horror has begun to unravel at the point of its very existence -- the human soul.
I hold my breath as I wish for death. Death from this unforgiving, cruel world that has had a vise-like hold on me since my unwanted emergence into it. There is nothing more that I can do to save my soul from the constant shrieking that echoes in my head. The calls of savagery that have beckoned me to commit the very crimes that have placed me in this godforsaken asylum for the remainder of my pathetic existence. The voices that drive me into the berserker rage that comes seconds before I make my kill. I must free myself from this torture. Within the downward spiral of my very thoughts lies an answer to the enigma bestowed upon me. The answer to my prayers. The reason to go on living. To follow the course drawn out before me that will lead me to eternal bliss amongst those who have had no wrongdoings. There is still a glimmer of hope for me and those like me. I must escape from the asylum that dares to keep me hostage, that dares to infringe upon my ability to roam freely across the dreamscape. The asylum of my soul must be abolished, for it hinders any opportunity that remains in my favor. Time is of the essence. The obsessive patterns of darkness shall be overshadowed by good. The good that is necessary to eradicate the premonition of death. No longer will the threshold be out of reach. It is time for the reemergence of my soul and for the requiem of the departed evils that have marked my existence from the womb. I shall govern my own body with my own thoughts and actions from my own mind. The mind that has plotted the deaths of so many shall now be used to save and preserve the human race. For the time has come for voices to subside and resonate elsewhere. I am in control. I am breathing once more.
As I return from my inner grave, I ponder the notion of raison d'etre. Is there actually a justification for existence? From the depths of meditation arises the reverberation of self worth. The self-reproach spawned from the violent acts committed outweighs the means for saving the soul. The reprobated individual is condemned to the realm before him, the asylum of one's soul. It is far too late to question the morality of it all, for death is imminent. Corrosion has set in and the already uncontrollable urge to degenerate has begun. There is no coming back from the darkside once the plane is crossed. The voice begins to echo once again. The psychosis cannot be stopped. I am no longer in command of my thoughts, my actions, my life. I am not breathing.
The fury, the rage, the uncontained horror that lies within my soul. It cannot be reckoned with. There must be a way out. A path that leads to a world of freedom unlike this wretched world that exists in my psyche. The twisted remains of thought must be unraveled in order to locate the strength needed to win this battle. The battle to breathe once more.
