Poetry Or Die

desolated views with my sights set on sunrise
to bathe in the glory of my life mid action
these are moments I never speak out loud
you can read them if you want

how should i put this
down? in a nutshell? shaking in the wind
a smell of smoke
 shadows in the corners of my eyes
circles have an infinite amount of corners

here try these shoes, wear my eyes
come feel my skin brush pain
and gain my wisdom I ended with compromise
stinging nettles are still a useful plant

tho I am not here, to say all about my flora
Slow fade tearing a jaded aura
Do I know too much or not enough?
I don't know anyone who admittedly said either

Is it my words?
Do they make these thoughts real?
I came to create a means to not feel alone
the beautiful art that has become
an elaborate scheme to talk to myself
