I live by the solid breath of society's stinking waste, dashed hopes and dreams
and burning potential.
surrounded by lonely hearts and broken people, I can only assume to dream is to escape and to face reality is to be brave. I know not how to do either.
Kiss a tender soul and do not condemn kindness, they are shields;
impenetrable fortresses of immeasurable purity to cleanse you of your sins and stains

you look like ***** laundry.
Come on and breathe in the decay, the slow descent into darkness and vitriolic madness
the world you once knew is gone
It can only grow darker and darker still
This is why you shouldn't waste a drop of glittering sunlight
or turn away love in all its shapes, sizes and forms

You cannot afford it.
Accept that we are far gone and have no hope to go back to the way we were no matter what force or what reason.
To live is only to survive and you need to be a sea sponge and live off very little.
know that no matter what you do, there is no way out and the easy ways are only cowardice and playful imagery
the only way through go through life is to wade through the sewer, the dark underbelly and come out scathed and filthy.
tide as in, the detergent.
