A God of His Own
My physical self is pitiful
I have been incapacitated since an early age
Inadequate in every regard
My body is a useless shell
Luckily, this place is beyond basic physicalities
This place transcends the grim and darkness of reality
This place is my world
I am the creator of this realm
I am Alpha and Omega
No longer do I answer to the call of another God
Now, I can correct prior transgressions
And eliminate the pain that made that world flawed
Man
My iteration of man shall be eased of suffering
They will not have to plead with their God
As I have
I was useless
A joke for the ignorant
A burden for the willing
Never again shall there be ignorance
Never again shall life be a burden
Life is a gift
A most precious gift
There
Well, I must admit, I do need some more practice
But in time, humans will be my angels
Animals
The world needs more than only man
An ideal ecosystem
A cycle of life of death
But death shall be quick and painless
And their lives will be treated with respect
Hand in hand- excuse me- Hand in paw
Animals and man shall work together
To maintain balance in this world
Balance is essential
Nature
To complete this world, there must be laws
Laws incredibly similar to the ones of my past world
But, there shall be new laws
New laws that the universe must abide by
One: Killing will never be sport
Two: Destruction of my world by the hands of man
Shall never take place
Three: All life is in control of their life
I never had control
I was always a puppet
A figurine on display for the amusement of others
Never again
Sovereignty is guaranteed, disease will be ridden
The cosmos
Perhaps the most important part of my world
It contains the mysteries of the universe
And maintains the order of nature
The secret guardians
The hidden monoliths
No one knows their true purpose
Some just like to stare
But they are my titans
There to look over mankind
Well, this is my world
What do you think?
I say it’s beautiful
Some may say it’s superficial
That imperfections and true pain
Can never be suppressed
Even by a God
I assure you, this world is perfect
I have not made the same mistakes
I know the evil of that world
That evil has died with this creation
Is it not pure evil that I was a spectacle?
That I couldn’t use my body?
It was a damn trick
It was cruel
To have such a functioning brain
But useless because of my dysfunctional body
I was a waste in that world
But when I discovered I could create a world of my own
I knew there was still hope
My mind was merely a playground
Now, it is a field for creation
A place where life will begin anew
Life will always live in happiness
Misery is nonexistent
Man is perfect
Man will always be useful
Animals are not only tools
They are integral to the purpose of this world
Nature shall never again pull cruel tricks
It will maintain the perfection that I have created
There will be no bickering amongst the stars
The cosmos are there to protect man
From everything that destroyed me
I never want mankind to suffer again
I have been through too much suffering
I have seen too much suffering
This world will be perfect
It gives me hope
Hope that no one else
Will ever experience what I have
But I am no fool
I know that when I die
This place will die with me
This is all just in my head
All I want is a haven from that worldly misery
The same worldly misery
That made me resent God
What is the purpose of life
If that’s the kind of life some may have?
I would have killed myself long ago
But I can’t even express my desire to do so
I hate myself
I hate the world I live in
I want to die
Hell awaits me
For I have been blasphemous
I have cursed the life I was given
While I still curse my life
I am joyous for those given a happy life
Never forget
Life is a gift
A most precious gift
