In the shadows he hides a mind full of strife
His hands stained red with the remnants of life

Each step he takes, he's haunted by a dark past
A burden he carries greatly heavy and vast

Whispers of guilt pierce his fragile soul
Painful reminders of his conscience takes its toll

Mental demons dance in his troubled mind
Tormenting thoughts impossible to unwind

A victim of fate he was groomed to kill
A life predetermined against his will

The patriarchal blade a merciless guide
Forced him to take lives on a twisted ride

But beneath the facade of a hardened shell
Lies a tormented young man trapped in his own hell

Torn between the roles society bestowed
A young adult, son, a killer in the shadows

He questions his worth, his own identity
Lost in the confines of traditional conformity

His mental illness a weight he can't escape
Condemned by a society that fails to relate

Silent screams echo in the depths of his being
Aching for freedom for a chance at redeeming

His conscience battles a war within his chest
Yearning for peace for an opportunity to rest

In moments of clarity he longs to confess
To lay bare his secrets his soul to undress

But society's traditional judgment is a weight he can't bear
So, he keeps all his secrets locked away in darkness and despair

The complexities of his existence a tangled maze
He searches for answers in a solitary haze

The murderer's conscience a narrative he weaves
His life, his actions the secrets it conceives

In the realm of the shadows shell he will reside
A fragmented soul seeking solace forever, to hide
