diary entry [i liked to lay in the road back in the day]

By Magdalena

.


it was the last place for me to exist 
weighed down with every heart pain   
my head chose to create 
kicking the crap out of my vessel 
until it swelled so big 
i could no longer breathe 
without crying into my own poor soul 
  
  
swallowed up by what I believed   
was incurable   
like a truck with no brakes 
full throttle into the void of myself 
those thoughts that liked to punch 
right through my chest 
  
  
it's all deliberate 
after all, I'm only human.

    “...it's all deliberate after all, I'm only human.”. Yup, that is some 80’s angst right there...:). Scholar
