Dec 2014
Heavy clouds hang over me.
Condensing blood to my feet.
Unable to move faster than cement blocks decay.
Always three steps behind, never able to walk side by side.
Just close enough to be in your shadow.
Ignoramus decisions and moments of nonsensical muttering run through my mind.
I see those blank stares.
I am the fall from there rise.
My feet almost ready to burst and send me to another world,
A place between time and space itself, a place of nothing.
The splatters and explosion of red bellow blind me.
I feel that last moment  of pressure,
And I release myself.
