pick your poison, is how the adage goes
no one toxin is identical
they all accomplish the same deed
ground by each decision
you wither away to no more than a fine dust
worn from the stress of painful repercussions
those of work and relaxation
those of love and isolation
those of life and death
i gaze into the wandering eyes of others, and wonder
how hollow are they
do they have substance or
are they solely a shell
held together by the laws of conformity
never daring to commit that felony
i guess that makes me criminal
as I choose to crumble visibly,
at least without a guise
i can be reborn into
myself
