Looking down on eerie silence
Wind song whispers
In different voices
Eyes flutter
Like butterflies
Paper wings drum out
Their pulsating rhythmic song
Drawn towards open space
A small step is all I face
Free fall out of realities harm
Into the arms of the afterlife
Hesitation…
Shuffle, step back and crumple
Down to my knees
The moment gone, the sobbing comes
Home I trudge
Rinse away the smears of tears
Salt stings my eyes
Defeated, but still alive
Raw painful emotions
Boiled off with time
I resent my toxic poisonous past
The future now is all mine
Dig through layers of shit
Find the will to survive
Then to build on it
And strive

Different (11/11) Rinse (12/11)
