Senses

Strangle my senses
So frank and relentless
Fierce less from fierce fists
I’m fighting my senses 
To get back to what this is
Twisted and tasteless
Bitter and wasteful 
I crave for 
The flavor
To savor the fervor   
Of forever
I’m clever
In thought but insistent
To persist in this growth 
Of yesterday
And tomorrow
A favor
For whether
I’m able
To resist this…
These…
Those…
I’m frozen in moment
But running in thought
For I cant see
The pain
These stains
That I smear
I cant hear
Nor can I feel
The plight 
I must will my way through these
Few to be easy
And more to be hell
I can’t smell 
Failure a choice
I can taste it
I’m wasting
The time
I am getting 
So I’m guessing
I’m obsessing
Over nothing
But forcing
The world
To strangle or mangle
These senses
Since this is
Just a figment pressing
The crevices of my persistence
