the shadows,
well the shadows are what we know
what our hands our lips our words
reach for at night
the shadows are our friends
we are believing them—
the flickers of light,
we are believing the lies that echo through this cave
you though—
you question the whispers,
question the shadows,
you question the soil beneath our feet
and the chains that shackle us here
you don’t let the shadows touch you
and so they're attacking;
the shadows the flickers of light the lies
turn towards you at night
you though—
you unwrap yourself from the chains
and you leave
I didn’t know we could leave.

15. Dissociated (Poem)
I stop and stare at infinity’s depth,
A state - longing and rambling,
Caught between dynamic and death
I stand still - stoic – the silence is deafening.
Distant murmurs caress my ear,
Delicate pressure - fingers skim on my skin
Afar – for I am stuck within,
Blind – a passive seer.
Dissociated – I watch time goes by,
Unfamiliar faces parade before my eyes,
Differently the same – he hides
And stare back at the ones who lie
In the vastness of nothingness.
