Don’t indulge me…
You are fools gold coated in bronze
Layers of lies
Peeling off like roasted flesh
Exposing vulnerabilities
Liberating me from myself
Comradery through misery
It’s all temporary
Until I waste away in my own filth
Love begets lust
Hate begets loathing
Don’t indulge me…
I have no stories to tell
No philosophies
Just a fool among Kings
Perhaps this is one sided
Where only I favor from your company
Guiding me
For I am hopelessly lost
Trying to find a way alone
With my own worst enemy
Don’t indulge me…

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.

I love the motif and theme of this piece. The lines "You are fools gold coated in bronze / Layers of lies / Peeling off like roasted flesh / Exposing vulnerabilities / Liberating me from myself" really stuck with me. I love the way you organize and present your ideas. Excellent work!
Very well done. Maybe you'll get there with one more glass! Excellent style.
