Paper, Pastel
Israel Simmons
Isolate;
More or less,
Lack of need
to
associate
With infragments
Broken, tender--
Stop.
Self inflicted
the wicked
settles comfort
Where there’s none
to be
Found.
Desolate desire
tie the rope
Higher!
Higher!
Higher!
Failed to retired.
Duck, duck, goose
helpless
relentlessly
begging to be
cut loose
Snap!
Crackle, pop
When will
It
stop?
Feels like
forever
when living
on a
broken clock
A box;
Negative yet comforting
the only comforting
within these four walls
Muted emotion
zero commotion
blank expression
mutant obsession
Communication
Is
Key
But like
paper and pastel
one burns
one stales
but both are
distroyed
much like
a forgotten
toy
Oh boy!
conflicted
self harm
the urge remains
consistent
a
distraction becomes
a new attraction---
wait.
What a waste
the mess made
to leave in such
a haste
More or less,
Lack of need
to
associate
With infragments
Broken, tender--
Stop.
Self inflicted
the wicked
settles comfort
Where there’s none
to be
Found.
Desolate desire
tie the rope
Higher!
Higher!
Higher!
