Do not for a moment be fooled,
She, (laughing) is a wicked tool.
Her promise,
fancy and euphoric.
Joyful and bright
but empty, and slight.
Her paradise,
dark and defeating.
Her truth,
damp and weakening.
She will find you.
She will not care,
to the when or where.
She will hunt,
brutal and blunt…
ferocious, yet precocious
wicked, yet restricted
She is your child, precious and wild
yours to own, but what should really be known…
your creation, mere aggravation
She is life wielding a knife, last name strife
making you proud, but living avowed
Inspiration is, and will always be, your extinction.

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.
