Random Poem:

sometimes & desertion
silentspring

SOMETIMES
 1
 
 
sometimes
 2
you need to hang by your ankles
 3
let the blood drip around your head
 4
until it hurts
 5
shut your eyes
 6
see the stars burning in the black
 7
you created
 8
and stop breathing
 9
until your chest burns
 10
screaming for the life it deserves
 11
sometimes
 12
you need to give up control
 13
and let the ropes around your ankles
 14
hold you
 15
 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 16
DESERTION
 17
suffocating thoughts
 18
the betrayal of the mind
 19
leaves one deserted
 20
