Por Siempre
Words are jumbled in my head
And they can’t get out. Stuck.
Stuck. Stuck.
Slow exsanguination, except. It’s not
My blood. Words choking out. Barely
There. Cannot breathe. Rob me
Of my sanity. Self-expression. Freedom is
Merely a word. A right. A lie.
These words are lost in an intricate war
Between societal norms and human truths.
So bad, so bad, so bad, they say.
What do they know? These leaders of
Justice. Truth. Knowledge. The righteous way of life.
They don’t understand the
Restrictions
Mirrors to a poet’s soul
Lost. Entangled. Spider web.
Fragile is the string that holds our relationships.
I cannot trust. Cannot believe.
Can not, or do not?
Tell me tell you, Look around
The death in their eyes. Spiritual gangrene
The smile that does not reach
The eyes, the heart. The important.
Hands out, reaching, always reaching
And there is no answer.
Never an answer. Never, the forever.
Por siempre.
