You wear a vest
To stop a ballistics event
Transforming a
7.62 or
5.56 into a
Mushroomed tip
But you can't stop
High explosive
Armor piercing
50 caliber
Nuclear beast-
Dreams.

I want you to think
your in total control
As I witness your
belief in the
delusion
You've convinced
Yourself
You're pulling
the strings
In fact
It's a perfect illusion
I'm bending your will
With my brain
And in your mind
your believing
the same
But ask yourself
if you think
i'm that that weak
and if in me that's
what you saw-
Here's a big fat juicy
clue to the truth:
*That's your fatal flaw

so happy
you needed your space
the further I get
from you
the more I feel
part of the human race
Again
Once more with
The general population
Breathing untainted air
Free from your
consummation
once again life is pure
Without your
participation
stay locked away for good this time

I dug a hole
to fill it in
and dig again
I dig my holes
Deep and wide
To fit your promises
Inside
The ones that died
You told me
In room 216
Comfort Inn
I was your trick
you were my sin
We lied to each other
Things I can't say
As my debit card was abused
by the ATM across
the way

black hole eyes
pulling in close
can't resist eyes
begging you to lose
yourself forever
in them eyes
sacrifice everything eyes
when it became intense
you spared me this
a rare act of kindness
averted my stare
warned to not come near
it gave me the second i needed
to glimpse my future
on the other side
chewed up and
spit out
nothingness
Thanks for sparing me
the gray hairs
as i checked for my wallet
it was still there

I saw me
What I used to be
Not currently
Sturdy
Fearless
Now look at me
I obey speed limits
What have I become?

in my head
on my back
Takes my MOJO
Give it back yo
gotta shed my load
when i'm stressed
the ******* want to play
tempting taunting twisting
in my brain
need to shed this load
Best thing is to run
in the sun
until i can't breathe
like when i was in boot camp
on an island in the south
25 year ago
I ran so fast
my lungs couldn't keep up
with my heart
it was glorious
and will be once again
*Once i shed this load
the old burden backpack
