When did freedom start
Feeling so confined
How does pure desire
Find its way to shackles
&
  Wade so deep
  In
  
Codependent indecision
    
     Just settle in
      With how you've been
       Afflicted
        Don't worry child
         Life's never mild
      
           Don't make it bigger
            Than it needs to be
             To have a reason
              To run and flee
               It's OK child
              
                It stings
                
                 When you feel
                  Hungry on Tuesday
                   & by week's end
                   You're
                  
                    Diving off the deep end
                    
                      Do not be alarmed
                      
                    
                    
                        
                           It's just your
                            Beating heart
                            
                            Earning every drop
                            Of love you've
                            Fought for
                            Dropped for
                            Stopped for

Why don't you look right
In front of you..
Is it so hard?

  Quite the little shard
   Of annoying glass
    That wedged itself
     Into the most
      Ridiculous uncomfortable spot
      
       Right beneath
        The chemical burn
        On your minds eye
        That happened
        From the
        Battery acid leak
        On the night
        You touched it
        To your tongue
        One too many times
        And you felt
        
        Spiders
        
        Up your spine
        There is no going back
        To a conscious
        Decision landlocked
        
Within the

        Inner space
        And time
        
        Before ---you threw
        The dime
        Onto the ground
        With no rebound
        No rebound
        No
        Rebound

Sovereignty
Accept, claim, & take
Sovereignty

When you're ready
When you know

Need I be so bold?

Sovereignty

Will rush every
Crevas of your body
Like luscious
Bathable liquid gold

you're in my head
i can feel you coming on

you're in the blood
that rushes to my lips

i know when you're near
i smell you in thin air

and did you know

the connection is
Inherently like trance

when

you say something profound
and it falls through the air like
a poetic dance

of
mental happenstance

i'm captivated

you are
what the sound of a
beautiful prophetic whisper
would look like in my dreams

it's enough wonder
to ignite sparks

that would
uncover hidden
sequentially driven

unparalleled stories
of infinite wisdom
universe has written

listen

This chapter is over
I put the book down
I walk into the sun
My feet on the ground

This chapter is over
Let it not make a sound
