Gravity extends it's arthritic fingers
It begins to pull down on my face
What I looked at once as pleasure
Is now a thorn of annoyance
Simple tasks of my past
Are difficult to unfold
It's been years since your embers were felt
Displacement on earth
Gray matter gone
Dendrites have hardened
Since the break
"During my life-time, it has been a constant search of
Understanding the functional aspects of emotion
After years of experiencing my disgust, rejection, fear, pity, anger and disappointment in life
I feel now that I'm in too deep
And I refuse to submit to this..."
This neck has felt the noose
This wrist has seen the blade
But it's no glory for me
I've drug it to the end
I've run it to the ground
But now I realize
That I am stronger
