Mentality

Drifting face across fulfilled lives, how many lies do I see inside? 
I see without visual, drowning in endeavours.  
I hear within silence, the blinding numbness adhere to my veins. 

The silence enriches my absent thoughts, swallowing me whole into the jaws of fate. 

What’s holding me captive in this divine existence? The monotony of being etching away my compounding resolve. 

Saturated with doubt, with guilt and remorse. A futile endeavour to attempt release from the clutches of madness. 

Altering ley lines to divert my path, digesting the inedible and finding purpose within.

Disturbances not overcome but overgrown with enamel concealing the ugliness left behind. 

The path forward we travel, onward we look. Hereby is the contingence to survive. Survival is key, survival is free, survival is not where I want to be.
