Blood Shot Eyes ( collab with Jack Jenkins, J.Antonio Helm, and Jonmarie Doby 4/17/16)
I close my eyes
Bloodshot and empty.
My thoughts depart
as sailed vessels through time and space.
A hollow space, with crumbled pages scattered throughout the empty cavity of the heart.
If only one could put my thoughts to page....
Maybe then this weary mind could be at rest.
Lest they remain scattered, lost and waiting for leave in my head.
The voices, they taunt me, society slapping labels upon my surface. Toxic, crazy.
Seek refuge from the mocking in a bottle.
Nothing strong enough to drown the infection in my mind.
I shut my eyes, bloodshot
And attempt slipping from thought.
But these eyes have seen to much,
Voices of the fallen accuse.
The void widens, glass empties yet again.
In the corner me and my demons sit on the floor....rocking back and forth....
My mind screams disease....
Voices....none my own....
I scream silently for misery's departure...
Peace to restless that never comes.
My mind, my sheets, my being stained with the knowledge that some thoughts should remain rotting and shelved.
Bloodshot eyes give them away, my mind is a hell.
Bloodshot and empty.
My thoughts depart
as sailed vessels through time and space.
A hollow space, with crumbled pages scattered throughout the empty cavity of the heart.
If only one could put my thoughts to page....
Maybe then this weary mind could be at rest.
Lest they remain scattered, lost and waiting for leave in my head.
The voices, they taunt me, society slapping labels upon my surface. Toxic, crazy.
Seek refuge from the mocking in a bottle.
Nothing strong enough to drown the infection in my mind.
I shut my eyes, bloodshot
And attempt slipping from thought.
But these eyes have seen to much,
Voices of the fallen accuse.
The void widens, glass empties yet again.
In the corner me and my demons sit on the floor....rocking back and forth....
My mind screams disease....
Voices....none my own....
I scream silently for misery's departure...
Peace to restless that never comes.
My mind, my sheets, my being stained with the knowledge that some thoughts should remain rotting and shelved.
Bloodshot eyes give them away, my mind is a hell.
