I remember how it feels, the need to escape Wanting to run Making a break For the door that exists just two feet away the light to brighten a wasteful day the hit to take away unimaginable pain the trip splitting like a broken vein spitting, jumping and flipping insane I wished for a life where nothing remained wished for the day of flight without plane without air without name falling falling falling I fell so far that a circle inflamed fell like glass in a shattered frame and now, beginning and endings the same So I remember how it feels, the need to escape Wanting to run Making a break

You’re like the beauty in the dark Sunlight stops the black rose rise Inhale For that must be the art Held breath before released sigh The cloak is transparent Glazed glass they called the eye The beauty is apparent: A black rose that cannot die.

You hate the sound of my voice And my presence will frighten you I loose the want of choice Inside my head – a coup Conscience overthrown The science of conning who?
