Where am I now? What is this place,
Its shadows etched upon my face?

Here scars of unexhausted rage
There monuments to pride.
There caves of self-indulgence,
Too many flaws to hide

Here bitter scrawls of vengeance
List wrongs to be paid back
High walls to keep good friends away
All gnarled and painted black.

Revolted as I turn away
Truth pierces like a dart.
Revealing that this cage is but
My sordid selfish heart.

o.O excellent little twist at the end! i got a little confused by the "There"s, because i kept reading it like "their", so...i confused myself, lol. but that's not really too important...what would the beat for reading that be?

I don't know how to describe a rhythm. I could try recording an MP3 of myself reciting it if you can't figure it out yourself, OK, here it is:
