Zeroness
This world had been desolate and barren
This life has changed in my own forgiveness
The hue of the sky seems darker now.
But the shame of the passion
The deceitful hid inside
The rinse of the wicked.
Still brings chills to my demeanor.
My cumbersome loner of the night
Reflect on what is not happening
What is not real to the outside of periphery?
To the other side of the glass
The voice returned when questions are asked
The place where curiosity is answered
The secret nature of the planet
The truest of all motives and intentions
Wild eyed and intriguing to the bravest
We face the future as a face changing in the mirror
Worth more in weight than in promises
Derived from the waste
I brought this baggage with
It never leaves always looming in the back
Shown how to be afraid
From a young age
By state and parental authority
Setting quite the example
To be continued
