Description
With bowed shoulders and a broken headI heft my load that the world has pushed on me.
She is many things, but she is not here.
A broken forest full of tangled borrowed people
Never hesitating to take more than you give
Exhausted and full of thin blood.
The screeching tires and empty buzzers
Fill up my head and chase my soul around...
And around...
If there is nothing to be afraid of,
Why am I running?
Panicked numbers painted gray
All the hopes have cracks around the edges
Enthusiasm grown moldy
Since everyone is screaming
There's no one really left to listen
Distorted eyes are wonderful pretenders
I have discovered on accident
Tears are read as anger
On a twisted ripped up book
Support yourself, everyone screams
Ripping themselves out from under me.
The skyscrapers have left
Ugly black streak marks
Across my heart.
Chase me around and around...
What will you do when I collapse?

Why thank you. *bows* And I dunno. I didn't really sit down and write it. It just kind of splurted straight onto the computer screen.

I always find your poetry (and Vi's art) to be so personal. I will always find an insight into what inspired you to write or draw it. I'm always amazed with how pointed and deep your work is. It's never fluffy and it's always got a message, whether it's coherent or not or whether you meant to or not.
