My mind overpowers
my state. Failure wrote
itself red on the wall.
Tricking drops of wet
paint run down my
bedroom's wall. My
eyes are barely open,
but the word is inscribed
on my brain. By the time
the air changes, the wind
will blow my chances.
Occurences like this a
are many, on countless
occasions I stayed put.
Could no even wipe it off
the wall. Even if I tried,is
permanent. My father used
thinner, but just wasted his
time. Perhaps I'll just get
used to it, just like my
father has.

================
very powerful images and words ...
this has a haunted confessional ache to it
well written and expressed...
allow me to welcome you to Passions if I have not yet done so.
will look for more of your work
take care

And the soul of the friend begins
There's a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
