The Human Influence
Causing Displacement
Extinguished like a cigarette
Pressing firmly, until the smolder
She sighed, "it's that easy to leave regret,
a wounded carcas, on the shoulder"
She shrugged his disappointment off
no longer her cross to carry
When he questioned her, she scoffed
flicking the ashes and the cherry
Along with it, her discontent
and her need for his approval
She left a list, for evidence
though truthful, it was brutal
**
* find a place of solace
*do not disclose its whereabouts
*protect your inner peace
*exterminate the parasites
*disappear into the void
*be sure to cover up your footprints
*find that thing that brings you joy
*with little to no, human influence
*clear your heart and soul
*free your mind of those distractions
*regain your own control
*until you're lost, in satisfaction
