Unconscious being

A mediocre response
To an unconscious beginning
Tranquility swapped
For a more cynical way of living
Pounced on the decision
With evocative caprice
Caution to the wind
And did it with ease

Threw at it
balls of pungent device
And didn't look to the head
And all you were to sacrifice

Captured the essence  
Of illusion and quiescent
And forgot about the distance
Between the climb and descent

The ugly that lived there
Was no body's home
Till you thought you'd take it
A crown you could own

Destroyed the waters
Instead of blue their cinnamon
And buried down deep
All  respect and discipline
Closed your ears to honest criticisms

Decay , lies a boundary
In which you have crossed
Rancid the battle
Is what you have now lost

Slaughtered and butchered
All hopes, sweet desires
For the water you drink
Couldn't put out
The smallest of fires

Grimace and shrill
Realising what you killed
Bitter the taste
The tongue swallows the pill

Features hard
Caving
Body thin like twine
Head space raging
Declared legally blind

You've lost time

You've lost your mind

And now I'm tired

It's deafeningly quiet .....
