about this battle
a poem
there are too many forces in the air
we need to call on certain constituencies
to continue the topic
one step at a time
as everything matters
just not at the same time
so, we have to balance that
pulling the rope to one side
strong supporting swings
of your self-discipline
so, mind the step, bridge the gap
between all your lost friends
neurons activated at the same time
must connect
where is the place
for positive thinking?
when all I had
it was an inverted version of the truth
trying to become a better version of myself
I have become a reflection in the mirror
of my own torturers
*
and you said it at last
keep them – spiders – away
they bring luck after all
but if they’re dead, then I don’t know
