Forever
I don’t want forever.
These voices won’t go, ever.
I try to follow this ragged path.
That takes me to Shadow’s Wrath.
My focus is on this hallucination.
That feels like a circulation.
Time runs through me.
As if beyond this prison is a sea.
Within my eyes is a horizon.
Like a cliff that family falls off of in frustration.
There is evil in my veins.
At capacity are these pains.
I don’t want forever-
To be here in this place where my sleep is never.
