Dear Florence, I know that...

yesterday i felt alive, and in a good way
perhaps the music awakened something quite outside mundane expectations
and finally life emerges from its own hideous struggle
so that the eyes may see light and hope
so that the heart can feel bliss and contentment
so that the voice sings of love and forever
being cocooned in his embrace, childlike, carefree, laughing

pierce & the will

at the tether's limit, there is only that undeniable urge to impale with any weapon on hand
and yet the fingers are too weak to grasp what the mind recoils from, this foil of fear
shrink-wrapping the consciousness, tainting the conscience with suspicion

perhaps if the hole is made, some light will penetrate this folly
perhaps if the hole is made, some truth will burgeon steadily into strength
perhaps if the hole is made, we will not longer be damned fools imprisoned in hopeless conflict

but is there the courage to even stand up?
