Lucid mind, empty,
thoughts of shattered glass,
spiralling in a rainbow of colours.
Descending from another class.
Burnt out paper,
flakes of yesterday's news.
Ashes falling towards the ground,
sparks by an exploded fuse.

Rare, to fall from heirarchy.
Beneath that of before.
Reopening a mind, starting new.
Desperately searching for more.
Least competitive life,
competing to become the best,
standing ahead of further dreams.
Fighting to become the best.

Picking themselves from the floor,
creating a new form of being.
Draining blood in search of new identity,
regardless of what they are seeing.
Rotting, dying, bleeding, pain.
Playing a different song.
Falling, failing, strangled, insane.
Knowing where they belong.

Welcome to Passions, Kim....  

Glad you found your way here...

Good poem...I like the tone...one small thing:

'yesterdays news' needs to be 'yesterday's news'

Thanks for the read

Your dangers are many. I
Cannot look much but your form suffers
Some strange injury

Very enjoyable read. I love your work. Truly amazing.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
