Poems
Jul 2017
The Colosseum
The tension
The tugging
I quarrel with
Myself again.
Perturbed neurotransmitters buzz about
My subarachnoid space,
Leaving a void where
My voice of reason once was.
What was once my cortex,
Is now a coliseum.
Gladiators donned in the Armor of God
Clash with abhorrent avatars of psychedelic malevolence.
This battle ending,
In the stalest of stalemates.
Leaving myself as the only casualty,
The lone survivor.
Parts of me, now gone forever more
I mourn the corporals of my conscience
By carrying on with my day,
As I drag my feet into the horizon.
