Don't Wait for Me



I have lost my way in this world of black and white. Rage consumes my every thought; my only desire, to have the recognition I deserve. The city is my empire of steel and concrete. Its streets are etched into my mind; there is not an alleyway I do not know. Honorable men, the ones your father tells you about with reverence, shudder at the thought of me. Respectable women suppress thoughts of me as they lay in bed at night. The person I wished to become has been smothered and replaced by an unfeeling machine; I have become the Resurrection Man. My aspirations have lead me to a world where only those who are willing to embrace their inner sins succeed. Lust, Greed, and Pride permeate throughout my city until every last soul is infected. This new landscape is where I thrive. Just as John Dillinger rose to fame through violence and fear, I too shall be known in time for my deeds. There is no turning back; I cannot turn around from the place I am going to where I've been. The person I was is dead and gone, I have lost my life and all that remains are memories.
