Crystallized
I live everyday looking to the next remedy,
I scrimp and thieve, here and there,
every one counts,
I just need the next one.
Doing what I thought I never would,
I steal, dive and flatback.
I scan the isles buying some, stealing others.
I build it from simple items,
baked by my own hand.
My kitchen is everywhere,
hidden from sight.
It goes where I go.
I travel freely, from here to there.
All my bridges burnt.
I silently watch as the pigs go by.
I lite another, enjoying the hard sensation.
as it courses through me.
Lazily, I drift off to sleep.
Only to reawaken the next day,
in my persistent abyss.
