|Locked inside a cage with no bars to hold me.
the guards watch with unseeing eyes.
neither attempting to hold me back nor letting me by.|
|Drowning in an ocean with no salt water filling my lungs.
Sea farers haunt so devastatingly.
Neither Pulling me out or pushing me back in.|
|Running in a black tunnel, with no beggining or end.
Walls to either side of my shoulder hitting me.
Not a tight enough squeeze to kill me, not loose enough to let me out.|
No way to distil and separate the lies they told me.
|To keep me here.|
This sanctuary, So unforgiving.
|So freely I weep.|
Taken aback by the thoughts I spit in their direction.
|The echoes of empty space drag them down.|
So far, So Gone, my recklessness unitiring.
|My apostasy to unrelenting.|
The gaping mouths of awe and hate.
|Open to the silence that is so loud and freshly printed.|
Here in my mind.
