...glazing over my life
like sheets of ice
melting me before pelting me
with harrowing insights.
peering deep inside myself
hearing echoed cries for help
and I can not imagine
a cavern this empty
is densely filled with all the ills to tempt me,
immensely still against my will
I’m gently going against me.
killing away the me that stays
until all that remains
is the remainder of a stranger
stuck in his ways,
still stuck in the truth
unable to lie, passing by the time
by crying
laying down, I’m flying now,
dying.
trapped behind my eyes
imprisoned in my mind,
my world, my flesh
a soul full, whole
in an empty chest
is all that’s left...
and all that’s right
is all that’s here
in all this night
I am all I fear.
I write because I have to
