terrified while the encompassing spasms
that crashing glitch sunk into my brain
memories and doubts repeating like frames
I can’t go about living under so much pain

Those who seek for the greater spectrum
Fall victim to their own faulty wisdom
Diving forth without looking both ways
Only to find their body collided in both directions

Try to swim through the manifesting confusion
Finding our clothes soggy and reeking
The fabric smitten by all the wrong we do
Never coming to realize it’s not all about you

The angry emotions rage inside the few
Livid, sitting at a desk with fingers in queue
The tapping rhythm of writers under siege
Wanting to ease the honesty overwhelming

Please don’t fall, don’t wait in line
That lime green glow isn’t accounted for
There is so much more
Than living a life unaccompanied  

For the longest time I thought I needed love
Under the darkest nights I sat alone
Covering my ears as the darkness
Began to whisper I was worth nothing

Without company I found my own
In the art of words and syntax of paint
In the minds of books and lives of friends
Picking my shattered pieces one at a time

A clapping thunder of realization
There is too much beauty for a “one”
I can walk this life alone
Finding happiness whoever I find to be
