Actual Identities (The Exper-TC-E-eience)

To intense to endure this mentality, The human condition was not meant for this kind of pestilence,  , This kind of using, When the ingestion leaves you mentally cringing, I  was consuming for the feelings of escaping thieves, To vicariously experience something just as devious, As I put my faith in capsule cradled dependencies, “Goddamn it’s so hard to type with keys that keep falling from my reach” May I experience such a moment of going beyond what only my sobriety may perceive, For only an instance before I go back to the way things use to be, Please, Am I a pioneer or a deviant, an explorer or a junkie? Pupils suspended like flying saucers, smearing across a starry sky, The eyes that exemplify my concocted climb, The sights that remind me I’m destined to decline, But not before a few more twists and turns along this mentally mutilated ride, “Goddamn Jen can you come soon so we socialize before I’m institutionalized” I didn’t know I’d be hindered by the human condition, I didn’t want to be alone,   Thinking I’d be mentally prepared and not physically impaired, Ever after it’s end, I am still unable to comprehend, something made by man, Bringing me close enough to consider, the divinity of the whitest doves and the blood of lamb, Like a pagan explanation to why we act this way, This ingestion had left me somewhat insane, Afraid of what others can create in this century, So I pray that you will heed what I have to say, So I hope you stay away from something that may leave you a casket-case   Because there isn’t anyway to save us all from seeking to flee this reality, And momentarily forgot about the ugliness of our actual identities.
