"The Weight of Eyes"
My mind falters,
I bleed,
from my soul to my heart to my page I bleed.
A thousand tongues at my disposal and yet none sufficient enough to break the silence.
I’m told that when words perpetuate anger one should turn to song and dance.
Yet a million Canaries could not chant every melancholy note in the chorus of my existence.
Is the breath of the wild nothing more than the simple prose of life?
Who am i then,
If not a template of insignificance.
Existential dread
The weight of eyes fixed upon my transgression,
I digress
For if I pursue this carriage of thought my mind is sure to falter.
