Words pouring over me, like rain
Splattering, shattering, falling forever
Flashes of dreams, eclipsing reality
The sun and the moon together in the same sky
Stars falling out of my hands like grains of sand
Bracelets of gold wrapping around my arms, my wrists
Voices singing curling upwards like smoke
Curling, unfurling towards heaven, the sky, space
Fortunes spread out, wider than the sea
Deeper than my soul, drowning and flailing in confusion
Fighting with words and fists, struggling just to exist
Going under, under, caving in, giving in

It’s like closing your eyes with lights playing tricks
Hovering in front of your eyes, melting, softly glowing
Feeling the warmth of the sunlight, the firelight
Ignoring the searing burn, never wait, never learn
Close your eyes, you cant see the world on fire
Surround yourself with sweet perfume
You cant smell the thickening smoke
Threatening to overpower everything you don’t know.
