I have my course and destination,
A plan to save this dying nation called the self.
One moment, one lie. One atonement, one sigh of straight sorrow.
Tomorrow brings a new dawn to carry on truth
And in that we find peace of mind with the loss of youth.
Are you ready to lose everything?
Everything is not lost.
There is always fluid continuity as we pass to and from the present.
Descend now. Repent now.

Live now.

Those lips that I kissed tonight
Didn't taste like you.
The black cotton shirt I clung to
Didn't smell like you.
So I kissed him harder.
And I pulled him closer.
I tried to push you away.
I wanted to conceal you
In my darkest memories.
But when he walked away
Without a glance,
I realized that
My lips,
My arms,
My everything,
Weren't enough for him either.

To be trapped in a body containing its own limits 

While others trapped inside an open bottle 

Both similar yet different

People in bodies trapped can't aspire to break what can be broken

Those trapped in a bottle can leave when they can shape themselves to leave the bottle that isn't closed

But can't comprehend the shape

What we seem to forget

Is we are limitless in a reality deemed by culture and illusion

To be produced and consumed 

To fit any shape but not move

You're not suffocating 

I've moved air through clogged straw

And still I stress 

And I digress 

Even when suicide is a mere option

A cowardly choice some say

Be glad

Because when it seems bad

It really is

Then hysterically submit to convulsions

And succumb to the shock

These are our motives place by our limits in a society that doesn't exist 

Like you

It's man made

Hide behind your mask
                      Never let them in
    Don't let them see past your smiles
                      To the darkness that lies within
                        Don't let them find your heart
                                        Keep up your façade
                                  Disguise yourself    
                             Hide yourself
   Stay forever locked away
                              *Don't let them know about us.
