I gaze into the eyes of the person before me only for a second before I am trapped like a victim to prey
The look that seeps into me and thrusts its vision throughout me
So deep and full, the pressure of the second sight makes its way within me and forces the trash from my
body to exit by way of the pores provided by my flesh
Reading every fault of a tired worn and jaded soul, has I stand there helplessly engulfed in an vain attempt to
capture one last breath
My eyes rupture with intensity stronger than the light of God at the realization that is pressed upon me
And all my dreams fall the the floor hopelessly like paper thin imported china
My muscles thrust themselves into immediate atrophy only loosened so i can fall to the floor
Where i belong
My veins tear through my skin and i bleed my black poison in a puddle that surrounds me
Fatigued, i pull myself off the floor
I restructure myself in a way that resembles film in reverse, as if it were all a clip from a poorly acted, over dramatic
Film
Carefully checking that I returned all of my waste to my sludge factory
I check for reassurance that my last shred of sanity still remains intact and when i am sure that i still have it
I regain my posture and go back to looking in the mirror in front of me
Feeling the coldness of the tile below my feet in the lonely bathroom
Making an attempt to decipher if my heart is colder then the tile drops me back on
The floor, i repeat the process

When he says black poison he simply means all the evil, rage, dark, and pained emotions lurking through his system. Like getting rid of the thing possessing you. Am I right, Paul?

I really like this one. I saw so much in these words...

Very good write here. Very dark and raw and painful.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
