Hold this space
don't wait
for the apocalypse
for the oceans to die
For the last breath
we'll take
perhaps
it may never arrive
in this time
and like parallel worlds
EXIST
spend this realm
in the center of your head
but first close those eyes
and begin to truly see...

These tears
you cry for me
will unbind me
and you too.

I've always been
a quiet soldier
fighting those
who would be
enemy to my skin

yet it's really all about
the skin we're in
the god awful epiphany
that most can't see past
its randomness

This flesh is but
a vehicle which
moves us

Usually without
nets or an airbag
we come into this
reality already
spoken for

and its the skin
that dictates how
you will be treated

I am the person
you'd least expect
to defend the skin

We are not ugly
nor absent of soul
we are the diamond
to your heaving
pile of coal...
