I fought
Alongside with people
Hungry to eradicate
Fragments
Of what they had been cheated

I lost
Admiration
For the beautiful corners
Meant to be found
By everyone
With a beating heart

I found
A string in the corner
Of the eye in my head
So I pulled
Endlessly
Until finally

I created
A hollow body
Lighter than air, drifting away
Immobilized and detached
From the anchor
Of sentiment

I lived
Carefully
Behind my nose
The hiding spot
From the light of eyes
Never to illuminate
My now hollow being

I'm scared
I've deceived myself
By escaping
In an act of self protection
Severing
The root of pain
I killed my tree of life
