I can hardly breathe
the weight is growing like gravity
dissipating beauty in slow motion
fading I will be standing alone
on a rock of dust staring
in awe at the earth
gripping tightly to the horizon.
After all that's said and done
the mirror has no mercy
I am a victim worthy
of all Dorian Grey hides
locked far, far away
in a cold dark place
hiding the one true face.
Breaking broken mistaken
Choices have forsaken
I awaken falling, hurtling
towards the unforgiving concrete
of perspective and consequence
insolence inconsolable indifference
circumstance only I will understand
The edges are irrelevant
with wreckage from an elephant
trampling anything I might hold dear
kamikaze violence decimates my life
distortion has a natural affinity
with all that might seem clear
I am an effigy of epitome reversed
