Planet of Sphere. Ocean of Water.
Word of Mouth. Light of Day.
World of Why's.

Every other breath a question.
Every other gesture a fist
Shaken towards the skies, or palms
Tracing a hole of absence
Shaped as a closest one.

There are no parents
Treading this Globe of Ground.
All of us infant siblings, comparing
Perceptions in a vacuum of
Answers.

Sons and daughters all become
Not.
Fathers and mothers fall victim
To blood drawn from own blood
And remain as drained
Heart shaped shadows, if in any
Shape at all.

The only cure against loss
Is not being there to lose, or never
Having had any ones to.

World of Why's.
Men of War; each a Child of Mother,
Whether as living as childplay  
Or fallen as something that
Has.

I am strong enough to hold you
So hard you won't feel yourself.
Inside you, where you carry
All you love, though, is a universe
Away from my
Reach.

That is why they are safe.
Safe as statues, painfree as
Mountains.
And why
You never
Will be.

Pocket the riff of the strum
hide in the hum,by the cliff
smile at the wall countdown

There is a hole in your soul
at the crossroads of the ends
the confusion within shadows

Bathe inside the current of dreams
pull painfree from the dainty mount
there is nothing that is left to lose

I'll take you to the fearless grounds
wipe the teardrop vile grounding tears
pause the episode of unstoppable rain

I see your hidden gaze in unclear mirrors
In the inbetween of the yesterday lines
Mincing matters on edges of destiny

Pocket the riff of the strum
and stand up unafraid to lead,  
Let the blues melt away all highways

Sometimes pills are negative
They **** and they hurt those around them
But what about
When they are needed?

I remember growing up
And seeing my aunt get slower
And slower
Because of the physical and psychological pain she has

I remember her
Turning from a happy person
Into a moody
Bitter person

I remember the happiness
Turn to saddness
Because of the pain
And no one could help her

The government ******* her over
Broke her down
Made her weak
And it continues to do just that

Ive had to help
Her out of the tub
Because the tub is too deep
And she is too physically weak

I saw her emotional strength
Get weaker
And weaker
With everyone of her brothers passing

I saw her cry
When her mother, my grandma
Forgot that her son passed away
And my aunt
Just made her break down

I saw her face
When my grandma
Couldn't remember simple things
And she couldn't hug her.

I saw the saddness
And the anger
When she realised
We dont have enough money for food

I saw the tough love
She used on me
Because she knows i can do better
I know it too

I saw many sides of my aunt
Mostly sad sides
But the side i saw today
Was one that i thought id never see

I came in
To a quiet home
No yelling
No sounds

Then i heard a giggle
I heard my brother giggle
As he always does
As he played his little... **** game?

I saw my uncle
Cook his famous spaghetti
And he made some
Homemade garlic bread

And finally
I saw my aunt
Lay on her bed, reading a magazine
I assumed she was in pain

I asked he what was wrong
And she said "nothing"
"Im just waiting for the pills to kick in"
"There for depression, and anxiety"

We sat together for dinner
Something we havent done in a while
And we talked calmly
And everything was fine for at least a little bit

For the longest time i thought that
Pills hurt everyone
Pills harm everyone
But i just realised

How selfish i was being
To my aunt mom
Who has done everything she could and more
To try and make me
Have a painfree life
So for once
Thank you pills
For coming to her rescue
I think ive had the most "normal" evening meal in a long time. My aunt has been in so much pain, and went to doctors that didnt care for the longest time and finally she is getting the help she deserves.
