I have not seen you for some time.
Shocked to see tears
Rolling down your face
In total despair.
Your teeth no longer
Accentuate the smile
You frequently bared.
Now they only
Magnify your demons.
Brimstone secretes from your gums.
You never had it easy
Bearing children out of force.
Forced into submission
By the donor of your future.
Losing your accomplishments
To the devil's advocate.
Free yourself.
Liberate the substances
That cushion your feet
Down that staircase
Spiraling into a realm
That shall hinder escape.
Follow the gospel
You composed
Whether for radio
Or the medium of self-preservation.
Save yourself,
For your regularly scheduled life
Is still in queue,
And better programming
Lies ahead from here.
