bumping

into myself in the dark

No air to breath, no light to see

I did it to me

It’s world is nice and round

Everything’s easy its found

I think I am that slug

No reason to leave my mug

The walls are made of my flesh

My flesh is made of my thought

My thought is made of porcelain

My soul is is starting to rot.

In the morning

I start to fight and run

In the evening I go to sleep
