you, i'm not afraid
anymore
of your darkened
light trapping
introspectives
and how easily
you seem to
coo the night
into slumber
no, there is
nothing worth
noting no,
intimidation
no, there is
a glimmer of hope
in the alleyway
of forgiveness
no, i'm not afraid
anymore
universe, did you hear me?
shy away into cascades
of enlightenment?
or blissful ignorance?
is it all the same?
I am no longer subject
to your mindless
jurisdiction of mediocrity
and you knew this
going into everything
that in truth
in trust, I never
really was
no, I am not bound
by the tendrils of
macrophytic tendencies
or wayward spiritual
heaviness with its
lackluster primer coating
and disregard for
our innercircle decorum
no, i am not listening
anymore, i'm looking away
as you somberly soak in
the dramatic words
of your poryphitic
paper jesus
your amorphous and
surrealistic prophet
who speaks you words
too good to be true
with a shiny white smile
how could he be lying?
go ahead then, go on
and feel better
with sighs of lament
and hope for a better future
made of crystal
and not glass
who gives a fuck
if its all silicon oxide?
as long as it polishes
and shines in the light
of pretentious normalcy
then it will all be okay
