Broken
Anthony Cornejo Jun 2020
Eat of me my flesh
drink of me my whiskey
burn your throat
cough up my remains

Disrupt my plans
There's now next
Only another day
I shake
I hesitate
I Ponder
I execute
I dream of death by suburbia
I dream of death by joy
I dream of death of self by offspring
Anthony Cornejo Jun 2020
I apologize
Before I set her free
Happy with the separation
Convince myself this is right
Use her while you can
Above the physical
Watch as I become lighter than air

Breathe
Adjust
Fade
Ease into haze

She is the vein

.
It's freeing
Behind words
Knowing judgment
Knowing rejection
It's comforting
Handling the weight
Feeling muscle strain
Lighter, warmer, dimmer

If I fade away
Black
If i tense
Black
If by the grace of God I feel the spiral
Black
Nothing
Return to matter
Revert to Black

Absurdity
Humanity
No order
Nothing more than deep silence

Meaning
Realization
Proof
Haste
Lust
Rythem

Find answers
Be absurd
Live
Escape
Satisfy, rule, serve, misfortune

**** the world
By defining the world
**** thyself
By letting go of thyself

Create
Within the limited
Reject
Control
Rebel
Fulfilling despair
Live with observation
Live without appeal
Within the act

Joy within strife

These are normal

Recently lost faith in:
humanity

In the words of James Hetfield:
We're so ******
**** out of luck
Hardwired to self destruct
Anthony Cornejo May 2020
Here it comes
The invulnerability
My gut expands, coated in lies
My spine straightens, propped up
by rage

Here it comes
The immoratity
My tongue slashes, freed after years of contempt
My heart beats, no choice, no direction, no beauty
