I'm learning to take the mask off; that I am enough. I don't want to self-sabotage anymore. Thank you, friends.
The mirroring motor man reminds me of when I placed my mind in a raffle for the highest bid of sanity and control (driven like his bike)

Reflective Motorcycle Psychologist (reflective glasses)
Words splintered on the heart: Grandmother, I'm breaking the chain. The light bursted through your open eyes at death. There you were swallowed with ferocity by the sun from which you danced and plotted in the night, as a cat hunts with the risen moon. Light, despised in terror. Prophecy: The light seeps through my pores, and I will not be cold. Horrors confronted, abolished.

Prophecy of Chains
Young brother Let me not Betray You Here I am! Standing, walking, moving Forward, forward, forward Your gift; it was not in vain You have come to me as a Christ Embodied as a boy who has shared a portion of blood and tender empathy; You have healed me when I did not ask And I shall not spill a droplet of my own anymore; For my blood is your blood And to love myself is to love you Young brother Let me not Betray You

Young Brother
Spirit, give forth or sleep, for this lukewarm life is the coldest of deaths.

Understated
Tattered painter's whites; The torn paper of a hand-rolled cigarette; These are the possessions which should rip me up along with them Yet, it's lessened the grip In fact, I don't feel much; Save the relief of living in discomfort, which always beats the discomfort of living in dysfunction Especially when you know the dysfunction is rolled into function by your own hand By the very same hand which rolled that broken smoke; Yes, it's better to mess up your own ingestion than to infest the pleasantries of cleansing incandescence. So 'fess up when you set yourself up And don't set the rest up with bad luck It doesn't take too long to figure out your mess-ups. After just a few seconds, I inspect; finding rest in the resonance behind this lesson which is not less-than. Let's then shape this paper back together, And together find the shape that could never be painted on tattered white paper

Rest in the Resonance
6 6 6 It is void now. Man Man Man (Unintentional hypocrisy) Ashes to ashes, for dirt was meant to tarry. Not with a purpose, but because it found something pointless to help **** the boredom. Still, better than some hobbies. Scrupulosity, the prison in the sky When I visited Pop there he showed me how to take a long hit of Hell smoke. 16 days catatonic. It was enough for me. But Pop, he got too high Hospitalized for a revelation of the second death after worshiping televangelists in solitary. The Serpentine Christ loves those with money. Forgive him Father, for he knows not that he earned his severance in my mother's womb (7 bank accounts) Shine it up good and spend it all up at the right time. Pop is broke now. 6 6 6 (all is vanity beneath the sun)

Scrupulosity
Despise it, for it is but a worthless thing. I (am your reincarnation) love you, grandmother, the reprobate (the compulsions I will always wage war with) One link, I will break the chain.

Illicit Intellect (the seeing blind son)
Anonymous anomalies Cold-crusted hands pronouncing death to traditional points of view She forecasted my luck, Prophesied my tucked away warrants Who could find these expressions when the covert was locked? She struggled with hatred Her bitterness was overtly hidden Only those who knew her microexpressions were gifted to place valid differentiation And it was all contagious; The joyful glow and the haunting dread "Mr. Carriage, thank you for volunteering" She wept profusely. Then my hands became warm, but she was covered in a cold blanket Your time is done, Mr Carriage

Mr. Carriage
In the quiet of the night When I try to slumber Thoughts come rolling in Like tides of emotional Reactions Like factions of the heart Actions of the truth Manic highs or seething lows could not render, could not decalcify the solitude Of honestly objectified encroachment put to motion By contriteness and conviction in my soul To the forbearing completion Of an undelivered lie Brought to light by undeniable Confirmation manifested by the silent ringing of the conscience bearing witness To these ties And someway knowing well wherewith it hides, We watch and wait For the Encroachment

The Encroachment
Behind funereal lights My eyes dim the day How I walk on my way As the Observer Set far bereft With the tenures of death My presence inflects The Observer But silhouette smiles Began to deject For 24 minutes by the fire And tears more profound Than the breadths which inspire Melded with the waves of the sound Reflection, Oh reflection Who is this man? With a strong brow and real estate eyes Oh, the mirror was wrecked In a spiritual hex Now the only face I can't check is mine Remember, you lovers With roads paved in gold Highways will lead you to suburbs Grounded on earth, Look up to the sky And there you will find The Observer
