Eager madness wrestling me into submission
Claiming my allegiance, refusing my independence
Lying sideways on my vessels to cut off my breathing
I can’t help but grasp onto the handle to find that snakes are twirling up my arms
Perhaps I wasn’t made for this planet but instead for one further away
Sentient beings, calling for me, a being as an ocean
Exquisite pain, I evolve past the need to breathe, and I am one with the universe once more

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.

Intense, and feels like a heavy portrayal of mental illness. “snakes are twirling up my arms” reminds me of constraints too. Nice Jazzy 👏
An amazing hunk of prose!
Congrats on Top Story!🥳🥳🥳
Congrats on TS and the painting is perfect for this piece!
Outstanding! Really connected with it.
Me too!
Oh, this has a darkness to it that is spekcled with light, I feel. Love it. Powerfully done ❤️
Outstanding, Jazzy. I loved it. After the last line I read it twice more, it feels like a poem about accepting change up to even death. And that song! I’ve never heard it before today but it’s really good
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Eerie, horrific and insane - it was great!!
