dragon's breath
calm my fire,
my overwhelming desire
look past my mistakes,
my lessons you've taught.
[we're herded like sheep
until we're all of a mass with the same face]
i am not a person
not a one
a nothing
you don't know me
because i do not exist.
i am merely a transferred image
displayed across your retinas
am i pleasing to the eye?
a nice distraction from your normal routine?
you must be crazy
you must be seeing things,
for i was never here.
or is it merely me who is going mad?
i am the one creating these moments,
constructing these fears
i wish not to be a part of this crazy
i wish to be silent,
to be quiet and still
run away from the noise
and the confusion.
sow my lips together
and tape my eyes shut.
fill my ears with sand
and my insides with concrete.
if i rid myself of body
hopefully all that survives
is the essence,
a true being
i try to jump free of this body
but gravity always pulls me back in.
if i could grow wings and fly
i'd be but a memory,
fading slowly like the summers sun
calm my fire,
my overwhelming desire
look past my mistakes,
my lessons you've taught.
