internal dialog

No matter how much my body resists it, the internal dialog never stops, cant destroy it. with my cigarettes, or junk food, or my bad attitude, can’t make extinct the thing that’s possessed me.

right in front of you

like a worn out tune of blues,

looking like leftover food, but not so tasty.

it’s a dream of mine, and in time i will learn what it takes to

make the seed grow.

never know? doubt kills like

pesticide,

insecticide,

boys at columbine.

with vicious and preconceived certainty.

no humanity or humility, only cruelty.

like the beast of nature, (pardon me)

nature of the beast.

the nature of the beast

will never cease. like the internal dialog, never stops. can’t destroy it with my cigarettes, or junk food, or my bad attitude. can’t make extinct the thing that resides inside of them, that’s possessed them.
