Haunted by a ghostly voice that just won’t go away, No matter what I do to silence it. Vibrant it is! But, I keep writing it in, Within a line in my, Wrists. Bleeding from every vein slice open in thought of what couldn’t be imagined in, A million years…

If I was being honest, I would rather be inside of it, And, Float until I reach a land full of clarity instead of being docked and, Shackled to a pier of lies by the ropes I was hanging from…

As I’m here increasing my stride, One step at a time as I strive, For something other than the approval of a ghost I can’t see no matter how wide I, Open my eyes…
