these walls contain me like the whispers to my ear
false barriers in a dream that ended long ago i fear
is it too late to write this now
i like to think that it isnt somehow
ive painted walls like this before
between me and my distant self
what i call my core grammar serves no purpose here
but to make clear
these thoughts of mine
i may simply be a victim of time
which is fine by me
you see
ive made a home of these walls
and my nightly trembles sometimes call
to the future i go to meet my future self
only to find me on a shelf id blame you
yes you
but thats unfair since i put myself there
im supposed to care
play fair
be there
but its leaving me bare bear with me as i fingerprint these walls
i know its hard to see me fall
it would be easier to have it all
well i love
hate to break it to you but
youve helped me into this hollow rut they say youre to make your art personal
well let me make mine impersonal
you dont know me as i dont know myself
lets toast to ill health
my name is unknown to the world as a whole
this is why the mornings are cold
and old men are old we label and box
but its extraneous thought
lets get over whats wrong or right
stop cursing the dark and embracing the light
god knows ive given up this fight before it began
all thats left is this aching left hand words float around me but cant find a home
i give you these walls to use as a tome
for all that is ugly or scary or cold sleep now my dear in the paint of my soul

"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Lewis Carroll IP: Logged |
