Abiotic

This is not life Façade-glossed eyes Spilling out Keeling from inside This is not What I traded for a pay check A calendar space Insentience This is not dilated pupils Suggestive smirks on long open nights Sidewalk flocks through the blinking city sights This is antithesis A nihilistic spectacle Handfuls of myself Slung at some meaningless backdrop Of tedious, grievous facelessness I am dead weight Basking in a womb of ruin DIY Self-inflicted holocaust, Ashen, laughing Swearing that I’ll rise This is not life Lying awake Vexing over lost, losing, perpetual time Abiotic, unborn Pressing through groupthink, Stacholm syndrome, Wondering when I died

Love this one. I always say if you want to be great you have to dare to be bad. You go out on those limbs oblivious that the branch is thin. So far you keep landing on your feet. Again Jessica, you are talented. You owe it to the world to keep reaching in and find what else is in there. Just keep applying your talent wherever you see fit.
