I had a vegetarian steak. It wasn't horrible, But it wasn't great. I'm in a vegetative state. Not really living, Not really dead. Cocooned in silk. Waiting to molt into Some thing of a greater ilk -don't think I ever will- Diamond encrusted shackles Glimmer pretty in sunlight, But I can't wipe tears away from my eyes. I have no joys, No fears, no meassage, No thoughts worth thinking anymore. Vessel broken, I'm sinking into depression more and more. I have suffered, as we all have. I have struggled, as we all still do. We are the same, but I cannot connect to any one of you. What do I have left? Music, women, drugs, poetry, TV, liquor; all the distractions are pointless now. As i stare off into space reminiscing simpler times, I realize, I never really named the voice in my head. I can't mourn it now that it's dead. Life is a paper plane in space flying toward the sun.
