Rumination | Poetry Out West

behavioural voice-over

exposed negatives

eyes flash a jaded smile

ruminating/pessimism

recycling the truth
defying natural laws –
impulsive machinations
scream
in the face of boundaries & trust
limited
to ones own imagination

wonders never cease to amaze
me here
in the recesses of my mind
where I control the masses
giving voice to unspeakable
shame

I am like the freedom march
my own prison; a running scared
commentary

my shank is chipping away
at the mortar leaving
remnants to slip

protection & self worth are inextricably linked
my inner critic my own worst enemy
here
the righteous & the wicked
seek refuge
