Back To

12blackbird21:

Every now and then the coast is clear

Enough for me to take a peek 

And out of fuzzy thoughts appear

The whispers of that, which I seek

For you can not see me in the dark

Nor kiss the beauties who’ve kissed me 

Nor howl at moon or even bark

Loud enough or incessantly 

For me to turn my attention towards

That which could offer me some home

For all of that’s got me so bored

In human hurricane, all alone

The knife blade shining and silky smooth

The skin is callused and hard to feel

The wall is cracking but still unmoved

But all of this is no big deal

For I only dip in long enough 

To count crimes for which, I too, am stained

Or prove to world that I’m still tough 

Enough to scream or swing at rain

So drop the mic and then run off stage

Back to bury myself in bed

Back to the world I put on the page

Back to the home inside my head
