Eager madness wrestling me into submission
Claiming my allegiance, refusing my independence
Lying sideways on my vessels to cut off my breathing
I can’t help but grasp onto the handle to find that snakes are twirling up my arms
Perhaps I wasn’t made for this planet but instead for one further away
Sentient beings, calling for me, a being as an ocean
Exquisite pain, I evolve past the need to breathe, and I am one with the universe once more

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.

Intense, and feels like a heavy portrayal of mental illness. “snakes are twirling up my arms” reminds me of constraints too. Nice Jazzy 👏
An amazing hunk of prose!
Congrats on Top Story!🥳🥳🥳
Congrats on TS and the painting is perfect for this piece!
Outstanding! Really connected with it.
Me too!
Oh, this has a darkness to it that is spekcled with light, I feel. Love it. Powerfully done ❤️
Outstanding, Jazzy. I loved it. After the last line I read it twice more, it feels like a poem about accepting change up to even death. And that song! I’ve never heard it before today but it’s really good
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
