Beautiful Scars Poet Sonnet

A Numb Mind

it seemed i was dreading what was to come,
      i witnessed sin and yearned for redemption
            my body aches, my mind totally NUMB;
                  my soul is but natural selection

fear locked with keys tossed in the autumn breeze,
     i fall to my knees with mordancy spread-
          i must cease this woe with strict guarantees,
               allow my disease to bleed ruby red

i wear soft green skin, always craving more,
    for one is never enough when you chase-
         divide life into factions of one chore;
             needing and feeding my craving for space

i seek what i sought without eyes to see-
    hope to fight what I ought without debris
