Fragmented words Spill with my erratic pulse With battery acid Flooding my marrow Scalding each fearful step I remain all I can To be ground up viciously By the twirling blades Of hungry skeptics I expunge frail excuses From the quivering shell Of diminished manhood Squandered masculinity A feeble voice Larks from my throat A…

Let the mind coast along Its savory roads of ease Across the fleeting pavement That dwindles close behind Soar along paths Of neon and gold Sure and withdrawn In the warm bliss of flight Let the hours sway and curve Through temporary solace The hollow void of reveries Undisclosed and pure From the inner depths…

I fear I must Each day I arise Destined to lurk Where I truly despise This ceaseless role In which I reside Devours my all As stillness subsides Upon the brink Of utter despair I voyage untrue Deprived of care Withdrawn I fold In the ways of bliss A stark luxury I’ve dubbed my own…
