Death of truth

Stuck in a world where truth has died
darts of lies sting my insides
They burn a hole so deep guts and gore spill to the floor
I pick them up blood oozing between my fingers
Hot and sticky
I may die as I stare in horror
Sinister voices try to lure me
to convince me of truth
coming through gritted slobbering teeth
I feel their darts hit and slither
covered in slime of another lie
cradling my bloody contents
looking through a hazy sludge
trying to find an impregnable force
while the lies turn into an apocalypse
The darts rain from a once blue sky
There is no safe place to hide
If only truth were still alive

Thank you Redex :0)…Morgen, poetry is a way for me to release negative emotion so the positive can reside more freely inside. Sorry about your skin crawling, perhaps I will try something happy soon. Thank you for the welcome :0)
