Accelerated Growth

There are many forbidden rooms

In my brain

Places I’ve crossed once

Forever sealed in me

*

I have to avoid

*

Bad plus bad equals bad

Bad plus good supposed to equal good

Good plus good equals excellent

*

Mixing like cocktails

Impossible ingredients

Diffident versus daredevil

Determined versus docile

*

Loosening the grip

On the society string

Knitting its ways

To the most intricate degree

*

Imposing their lives on me

Cutting the threads

Cutting the corners

*

Long story short:

I live in the darkness of my brain

No, not in ignorance

But knowing too much

Bullshit all around

Still philosophising on the subject

The eternal struggle between good and evil

Inside and around me

*

Bouncing in hiccups

Waves rising up to my throat

Overflowing

Never as low as before though

*
