Dirt
By Drifter
I cant lock it.
I cant push that door enough to close it.
I try.
I try in agonizing apathy.
I struggle
And tonight I wonder
if it's part of my condition
If these hands and these eyes are meant
to grind
To scrape and blind
I feel that crush
A
noose fitted tightly around heart strings
And i CRY that i find
meaning in the vibrations
No station tunes to my song
And
I am yet to lay sated
Only fooled
By beauty and hope
My carrot rots
Strings frayed
And my dusty eye lids sag
The weight i pull has become its own
And I'll waste away here beside
it.
I see the end of the path
And yeah I'm scared
But
not of the corner I cant see around
No.. I'm afraid i wont turn it
smiling.
I'm afraid i wont hold my head up
And I'm so desperately
afraid I'll turn it alone...
Not simply seeking company, but the painfully
stuffed feeling of a thanksgiving meal
I will be satisfied
Or I will wander this world until I am forgotten
And then I'll be
at piece
Where nobody can come in
The door locked, nailed, and
buried
'Til then, I struggle.
