destruction

locked within a box

of what i am not

what i have been

and what i can’t spot

misconceptions of reality

the intolerable perceptions of my physicality

all that i discover

as my bones begin to rot—

destruction i cause

in a world down under

a cloud; possesses me

as the thunder broils sober—

isolation my medication

but with you i can’t hide

so i tear down the walls

i have built in my mind

not open for the many

but only yours truly

the sun never touched me

as well as your touch

never opened my eyes
