"I'd rather be hated for who I am, then loved for who I am not." -Kurt Cobain


The ghosts, they haunt this castle I’ve built.
The towers shudder, their soft breath I’ve felt.
Their beautiful voices like sirens call,
As I try to hang on to this life in these walls.

But they call, they call, and I cannot resist
So I step out of the gate, and into the tempest.
I turn to the sound of cracking rock,
And see my walls tumbling, block after block.

For my ghosts now have won, and now that I’m out,
I see that destruction is what they’re about.
So I watch as my castle tumbles down,
Alone, I realize my ghosts can’t be found.

I wrote this about the feelings I had that ruined my relationship with my ex, who I broke up with recently.
