1 minute

. . The anger I feel boils just beneath the surface I’m suffocating on the rage I see a red landscape covered in disgust I look back at the dred smothered in disdain I look forward to repulsion caked in jealousy Murderous impulse held down with strings of regret Hatred of all things light All […]

Weigh in

Weight is tricky. It literally does what it says it does. It weighs on you. Weighs on your bones, your mind, your life, your soul. The weight that is hardest to loose is the weight you can’t see. It is the plague that weighs you down. Dictating who you’ll be. It thinks it owns you. […]
