Every

Every stumble

Every heartache

Every pain

Every frustration

Every disappointment

Every aspect of waking in the morning

With the repulsive taste of gall in my mouth

Leads me to a forest of bleakness

Builds inside of me a bastion of insouciance

That protects me from the bitter barbs

Of emotional constraints

That prevent me from drowning my mind

In the empty void of null

This flesh is a prison for my mind

Let me destroy it.

Let it become nurturing soil.
