Dead Acres

This Day Forward


dead acres set us apart light years away 
our self consciousness ties the knot to the 
rope that keeps the distance my emotions pull 
me from every direction focusing on dismemberment four walls of confusion closing in smothering me 
my emotions tear me apart dismember me i don't 
feel welcome into your forest light years away 
light years apart cast away into the barren desert 
by the illusion created by my looking glass self 
i sent myself into this starvation nowhere to 
harvest a sense of genuinity in this wasteland 
left to starve stranded abandoned beneath these dead acres.
