Choke On It
Truth Wafts Over In Billowing Clouds
Purses full of
Cloying secrets
Clawing through
Piercing armour
Waking me
Beneath the trees
Every
Scorching magenta
Dawn
🔥
Dragging
Weighing my
Body down
As I trudge on
Clattering
Inch by
Inch
⛰️
Little by
Little
The material
Comprising soul
And suit
Eaten away
Rusting
In the destructive
Path of a past
Kept just out of
Sight
🌧️
Truth escapes
Sublimating
Clouding up
As it sizzles
Integrating
With the
Atmosphere
In the
Sun’s first rays
Neon
Toxic
Staining
My skin
