That Which Strangles and Smothers Me
By riverdreams
Asphyxiated in sludge
Its strength I misjudge
Constricted by my own fatalistic point of view
The life I've known is now askew
A silver sheen of grime blankets my skin
It slithers and snakes and bares a grin
This blanket of guilt is my brutality
From which is the wreckage of my reality
The solution to rid this pollution is hard to find
There are no action-oriented thoughts in my mind
Only the invasion of my fatalistic view of that which
strangles and smothers me
