Poem
"Ransom" Held to ransom words inject your mind pierce your skin drawn backwards you transcend, you look within a bloodied mind the numbness melts inconsequential ignobles and dreary misfortune a polar ice cap lying cold on stony heart rescinds Blue blood bleeds Red Mystery Girl Implodes your heart Reconnaissance transforms on a dead even plateau transfigures a bipedal head becomes eight legs Tarantula reaching You are sitting in your seat of power Throne of Amygdala far past the Courts of Cerebellum Outside of the Tarot Fallen Tower Pure gold held in your sceptre remittance from genuflecting The Antebellum you bestow your imperial insignia. Your world not theirs, who'd want theirs? You swallow mistakes, heartache, love lost, a powerful elixir cast on a stage fast fleeting this life Your spell will breathe once it hearkens your royal command all this, Mystery Girl has the strength to conquer Begin again Begin again Mirror Mirror on the wall See yourself, Truest power of your All Keep focused on your windows Outside, let The Others, fall You keep marching forwards Mystery Girl Hold your head up high Stand Tall In your story. They are held to ransom staring at their windows brushing teeth before bedtime one last look without flinching away, they hear your words their Eyes close their Dreams fall away away Let their dead minds diagnose. Listen to your heart. Open wide your windows. Walk forward, through and past the empty chortling fray, Smiling, it's your day (LadyLabyrinth/2019) for Mystery Girl, Poland https://youtu.be/S5-ddLodThA Fever Ray - The Wolf “Advice to my younger self: 1 Start where you are with what you have 2 Try not to hurt other people 3 Take more chances 4 If you fail, keep trying” https://youtu.be/Sewd37tx0W8 Fever Ray - I Am Not Done “One of the worst times to give up on yourself is when you are surrounded by negative circumstances. Your life is too precious to ever allow it to become a prisoner to trials and tribulations.” "Believe in yourself, go after your dreams, and don't let anyone put you in a box."
