Eyelids droop behind heavy curtains
Muscles twitch, I have no control
Tell me to stop, but I wont

I can’t be under your laws
Limits fence me in
I’m down and out
Weaved in and out of reality
Time to grown up, time to kill my softer side

Dirty pennies and blood
Stab wounds and hugs
I swear, I’ll nail you down
Be my savior, my bleeding lamb
My greatest sin and biggest fan

On the other side, always thinking of mirages
Flits of light and space, self-serving breakdown
Inky darkness and cold hard stones
Lie down and never wake up
I found myself in your back pocket

I wont

Kick me when I’m down
Eyelids droop behind heavy curtains
Muscles twitch, I have no control
Tell me to stop, but I wont

I can’t be under your laws

I’m down and out
Weaved in and out of reality
Time to grown up, time to kill my softer side

Dirty pennies and blood
Stab wounds and hugs

My greatest sin and biggest fan

On the other side, always thinking of mirages
Flits of light and space, self-serving breakdown
Inky darkness and cold hard stones
Lie down and never wake up

Well I must say!
It is indeed dark, & I find much that it wrestles
with the conscience! I particularly found the lines:-
"Inky darkness and cold hard stones,
Lie down and never wake up, I found myself
in your back pocket" - very intruiging! This is such
a great description of being/feeling trapped....
Well done Tox, fab write in my opinion!

Deep and dark. I can definitely relate with the struggles. Great write!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
