blood running through my veins
strong like blue lines on this page
my emotions are flying into an outrage
too swift to be locked in a cage
enclosed in a cold midnight chill
splinters from broken wooden wheels
tight calf’s from walking uphill
trying to grasp onto how I feel
sinew to the symbolic structure
of dealt out portions my issue
what part did I play to end up this way
it's so hard to turn back to yesterday
maybe I made some kind of pact
pricked my finger and smeared blood
on a contract
maybe that's why these
recurring dreams keep coming back
hovering over my body unattached
a stranger to my reflection
I'm wearing a somber mask
capable of evil actions
and diabolical infractions
feeling like a wicked villain
subjective to serial killing
homogenized and hypnotized
dilated pupils and flaming eyes
torn between merging with the enemy
forming a single entity
my sole source of my wavering
hesitating and second guessing
sitting on a wall about to fall
like cut down trees onto my knees
something fell on top of me
my painful destiny
it fell to me to write the rest of me
the cry of a black sheep
hands and feet unshackling
sheared of my shedding
changed with the new moon
winded from running through a maze
shielding my face from the rays
the agony of being razed to the ground
smoldering from the blaze
emerging from the depths of earth
like I'm back in the womb
and my mamas giving birth
