to escape would be a dream
explore the unexplored,
walk the paths never seen.
many destinations do await,
afraid my curiosity
will lead me to a fool's fate.
to sift my senses
through the properties of nature
spread across this planet,
would produce a bliss needed
sooner and later.
a release from the clutches
so frantic…
more and more disgusted
i panic…
the heart beats with every drip
and writhes in pain when ripped
by the grueling hands of time
they whip…
lashes upon lashes consisting of
various flashes of existing drugs
when obtained in dangerous amounts
the mind struggles with each blow,
it counts…(1)…(2)…(3)…and counts.
in between the exchange of whips
the mind re-clothes, and then must strip.
waiting for a delay so prolonged
with the time to pack and move along,
break away from the shackles and chains
to places of beauty they cause for estranged
emotions to truly stain the remains
of areas untouched followed by change,
and the desire to engage and rearrange
lugubrious feelings by removing the peelings.
layers and layers they never end
like a skin they produce
and force you to depend
upon the structure and comfort,
they keep you from bleeding,
but inside they use you
and keep you from reaching
that star above, never deceiving,
a light in your sky
that you can believe in,
it calls your name with a yearning,
in a rush to be leaving you're hurting.
though your star may never fade
it seems like forever you are afraid
to leave the skin you've worn so long,
there comes a time when the snake moves on.
