Suitcase of Sorrows
I packed a bag
To board a plane
No hopes of
Coming back again
Leave behind a tainted mane
Full of lies and tortured gain
It seemed so easy
I turned away
I wait by the window
Hollow eyes
Wind waving thistles
Hypnotic but artificial
Feels like I’m fading
Forgetting years of dreams
I stand tall in someone else’s skin
Flashing smiles trying to face my sins
Safety has its shelter
It’s roof shingled with hope
Assumptions anchor tranquility
Can fill a cavity that thirsts for more
There’s danger in the lightening
But I want to dance with electricity
Let the storm consume me
Devour me, with its toxicity
