Poem 18: Desensitized



Desensitized.

Desensitized -
This is the truth:

we don't want to believe
and we cannot see
in front of our eyes
there's nothing but lies
there is a thick shell
like fog, can't you tell?
it's keeping us Blinded for now


Desensitized -
We Say:

what do we want?
whatever you've got!
why would you...
but why wouldn't you?
whatever,
forever...
i ran over a cat (meh)
there is nothing deeper than that


there is a truth:

i choose to believe
yes we can all see
beauty in front of our eyes
to break through each lie
there's no more shells
but proofs we can Te11!
that's what i see - freedom for now


but the shell does not break
the world will not take it away :)

we want nothing more
no hope, life is poor
our spirits have died
we're Desensitized
by the world around...
no life can be found
all bound up in chains

let go of the reigns

no kind of control...
closer to a big hole
where it all is a dream
no one can be seen...

We're
Desensitized-
too many lies...
blinded inside
no place to hide.

what is life?

Poem 31: Waiting

Waiting You stand, at the door of myself. You wait, knowing I know. You heard, my voice acknowledge... But now, there's no sight of me. ...
