Insatiable Desire

It’s like looking in a mirror

Looking at you

An image of a soul

A little bruised and slightly broken

Masking the shambled past

With lines to a song, cigarette smoke

And the Rebel Yell Lingering on your breath

If you drink enough your numb

If you cant feel anything

Then nothing hurts

Those scares on your knees and hands

They are the failed attempts of the world

To push you down

But determinism flows freely through you

Proving everyone wrong who gets in your way

A rough tough and wild outside

With a  soft personal inside

Yes this image terrifies me

Yes this image makes me want to run

It makes me want to run to everywhere you are

Because this soul image is my insatiable desire
