Come Out, Come Out... Whomever You Are!
by James Blaylock
Come Out, Come Out... Whomever You Are!
let's wear our mask again, today,
they're more than cute and trendy
and besides, they hide our withered souls
with their tiny black holes, so consuming
many have, always, done this and shall continue
but what's the use in hiding behind such falseness
when the light shines brightest and the fresh air taste sweetest, right here
someday our skin can know the sun's warmth again, but I praying it's today

To be invited out through a tested trusted other soul is to be invited out of prison, but no one would know this until the days it happens.
I notice you write with much depth. Depth is among my finest companions. |
