Anonomus Scorpio Poet Rhyme

Counting down-The long game

Lock me in a room for days
Suffocating in purple haze
Tried so hard to change my ways
Catch me from this second chance floor
I used the window, but you slammed the door
No, holding me close like you did before
No use hiding anymore

I've been holding it so long
I forgot how to breathe
I've been waiting so long
I forgot how to leave
Drag my troubles away
Until I forget how to grieve

Lost in a maze, you can't help but inveigh
Draw your money, I tallied the day
Count your blessings, and I'll count your flaws
That pinned me down between your claws
Now pick my bones out from your jaws

And fold our paper life away
Tell me now; it's not okay
I dragged my troubles away
'Cause I forgot how to grieve

Anonomus Scorpio February 14, 2025 at 8:12 AM The best way I have ever found to get toxicity out of my life is by writing it out. Hurts, ignored, become catalysts for depression and a devaluation of the human condition. With the infection gone, that is when your mind and soul can finally heal. With light and love <3 A.S.
