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.
