The darkness envelopes me
All the colors combine together
And offer me a place of solace
But precariously hiding from the weather
I flee to...
Horizontal on a mass of down
Freeing tension from up to down
Fluttering shutters let in no light
Breathing slows
What a massive delight...
Mundane
Life has lost its luster
Like diamonds that refused to shine
Drab
It's perpetually raining in my head
And I hate being so soaking...
Sitting silently
Watching my mind unravel
Equanimity ensues
And it's quite a marvel
Conceptions dissipate
As I just let things be
And try...
I relinquish my vittles
To the point where my blood secretes
From my screaming pores
"It hurts "they yell
So I give until it hurts some...
