I'm standing adrift in this wooden thing
Here in this sea
I'm somewhere...

I can't see a shoreline
There are no clouds
A pedestal and raw, starving vultures
One, two...  six...  eight, nine...
Empty stomachs, a pit indeed

So wide, so many places to grow
Freely without a hammer show
Separated, tension, squealing, scream, holler, cry...

This thing in mind
I'm doing the best I can
I don't want the scabs to bleed
Be a real person needless
Walk the Earth dead or alive

Drop the shapes cutting holes
Bless the bloods that flow
Demon whimpers because he knows
Chisel chisel, cut him slow
Until you're numb and don’t feel it go

Savior, that didn't care
Brainless flow into the boat
Quick flood, under the blood

Praise the eternal reign, the Father; Jesus Christ; and the Holy Spirit.

I LOVED THIS! So brilliant.

This thing in mind
I'm doing the best I can
I don't want the scabs to bleed
Be a real person needless
Walk the Earth dead or alive

Drop the shapes cutting holes
Bless the bloods that flow
Demon whimpers because he knows
Chisel chisel, cut him slow
Until you're numb and don’t feel it go

that just made me so excited to be reading it! it was amazing. for lack of a better word, perfect.

can you find me space inside your bleeding heart?

Wow, so I guess for lack of a better word "perfect."  Thats like a successful and percise military strike.  Speaking of military...
Thank you

To be honest some of the stuff you write gets me confused, like you have all these thoughts running over each other. This poem wasn't like that as much, and it was utterly awesome. Nice.

Courts.
Saved of course.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

As far as thoughts running over themselves... it drives me crazy sometimes, like a random scream of "SHUT UP!!!" at times, while I'm alone...  Not always...  Just sometimes.  But yeah, thank you for the complement.

Yeah, its a fork with about 5 different prongs.  3 of which are somewhat like plastic floating bridges and the other two are "real" as far as the word itself goes.  So yeah.

Someone said you seems as though you have thoughts that run over one another...
{smile} that isnt always a bad thing...
