I'm running into the arms of the trees

I'm chasing the sounds and i'm on my knees

Escaping my shadow, denial and exile

This is how i live reminding myself not to

Remember. these nails in the back

Of my eyes are a constant. each thought

Ruins me and i rub the sockets

As if to reach in and pull them out

Pull me out

The forest goes on forever

No flora, no fauna, only monsters

Beware, turn back, stay away

Beware, no light shines through the canopy

Where do you go when your home becomes your prison?

When the roof over your head caves in

You're lost, not wandering

You're lost, not wandering

And you dig yourself deeper, deeper

Forced

To live

On the streets

That you hate

Share the gutter

With vagrants

Blissfully

Ignorant

Thought you

Were better

Than this

But your pedestal

Is a hospital bed

And the pill

The cure

Is hard

To swallow

So choke

Or languish

Choke

Or languish
