"When the power of love

overcomes

the love of power, the world will know

peace."

~Jimi Hendrix

everywhere to go and nowhere to hide

my panic is evaporating

the remainder of my mind

dissect it's cold torture and find thawing hearts

the burn of inevitability

from which I cannot part

my rocks shaking, my head a swirling void

I'm choking on my caged animals

those from which now I can't avoid

consequences of indifference

poison the only thing left

on living past the tears

that never came to wash away

my self-dignified immodesty

and to the souls of all who drink of it

may it wash away your fears.

Product never guaranteed

drink in the honor of my frozen blood

plea to nothingness that it takes me back

to be washed out of my sinful mud

is to shine to all what I lack.

cold fire spits at my walls-

walls of indestructible indifference,

but I bleed watery shame for the things

they hold.

reality is never so if you don't believe.

my glass walls bubble me in

hold me when no on else

seems to be around,

bounce my cries back to me

when no one is there

to listen.

so I cannot abandon the ones who

let my fears be my comfort.

forcing me to learn

from my ever growing mistakes.

holding me down, not letting me

feel the crying pain,

the destroyer I see all around.

Every time I open the treacherous door

(which I have done oh so many times)

the pressure of a thousand breaths

I've ignored

crush in around me.

My walls keep me safe.

Ignorance is a disaster,

Knowledge is key,

But indifference is a savior.

Indifference shields the weak.
