Endless Reflection
69696969696969696969696969
This intense sound
That snaked through my ears
Destroyed my eardrums to trash
69696969696969696969696969
Is it the echo
Is it the endless reflection
Is it you, your face, your voice
Or the million faces that you’ve become
69696969696969696969696969
I never thought you would be in hell
You only meant to be there when we were the richest
Wilderness, that’s how you called me
Now I’m just ash
But I’m still a wild soul in your eyes
69696969696969696969696969
I wish you could civilize me
You gave me a dead body instead
Possessed me with your stinging void
Watched me turned into your shadow each night
69696969696969696969696969
You wish that I would be forever dead
I thought I had been too
I was kicked out because my mind is so rough
69696969696969696969696969
Hell is no joy
Death is just a silent dream
I prefer loneliness to endless torture
69696969696969696969696969
The poignant laugh should have been heard once
It never ended
It was my brain’s blood
Echoing through veins and arteries

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
