Shattered Red Drop

A new mindset, re-programmed
my new shell starts to skip around
direction
restrictions
acceptance of my decisions
the days are set before i wake
i rise up in a zombie state
i am changed! hooray hooray
too easy i say, where was the journey
I am aware, People praise
....
......
........
.........Drop.

My mind speeds up
Keep running, keep hiding
dodge the inevitable cliffs edge
Please get these peaks out of my head
"There is an answer, you know the way;
go now, Im always here for this moment"
"Shut up!" I say
Keep swimming, Keep Diving
The chillingly helpful voice starts again
"Im here for you, I am your friend"
My mind, shuts down
a goal is set, direction
a way to hide beneath the ground
....
.....
......
......Drop.

the amber drop, the red flow
the strong whiskey scent
warmness fills my body
numb hatred, numb pain
numb the voice inside my brain
irrational decisions made
no purpose
just an empty vessel
running, hiding swimming, diving
....
......
.......
.......Drop.

Blackout rage
It leads to this
My hand goes through, it makes a fist
fragmented anger, the feelings heard
the sharp shards meet the flesh
a cocktail of shimmering glass and thick red flow
my screams feel internal, they join each other
for the first time they make sense
the blood its everywhere
my head is spinning, eyes dart
to the red puddle
forming shapes
my dangling hand
my heart, my breath
the drifting, unknown
"its up to you now" I say
as i drift away
to peace
to sleep
to drop.
