.:Draining in the Drain:.
It’s as dark as one can get on this corner and
I’m once again into this placement of self-debasement
here laying on this street; head parallel with defeat
I’m just another anybody and I’m barely stirring
still hard to believe this is all occurring as
I’m laying here face down in this gutter
draining in the drain as I lay here & mutter
sounds emanate; passersby
perhaps they hear as I extrapolate
this happens as my face is pressed hard
sub-sanity wielding gravity; this
this as I’ve jacked and flipped a losing card
forcing my face down into this gutters gate
tears, they run; unable to separate
my drenched face, its tears tasting of salt
they are heavy, they are cold
just like the origins of my pain
dense and thick with such disdain
where at this instance
there’s a need for what's featured
for my feelings and thoughts
the need for them to become lucid
wanted is an ability to flow, I need to go
right now I need to get up and escape
flee while returning to what used to be me
but this; this is something my face cannot see
that ability to climb and face being free

damn powerful...sad and graphic. the visuals tell the story as the characters predicament unfolds..and "draining in the drain" dark and clever!
