Escape Artist

Have you ever
been so under the weather, you're damn near in the ground?
And somehow you found the energy, to make a sound
like a mouse running around at the feet of a lion wearing a crown?
Have you ever
Been swimming in a sea of green?
With jealousy pulling at your ankles, by people you've never seen?
but know, that want you at the centrepiece, of a red dream?
Crimson scenes, horror stories, trying to pull you into the abyss
familiar, close, far, sick pricks with you depicted dead in their scenes
Have you ever
Supported Atlas to hold the world up on his shoulders?
And despite everything, no matter what, somehow you got older?
Then, you figured out every last fucking cunt that fucked you over?

I hope you never had to.
But I don't think anyone's that lucky.

It’s been a while, Pharaoh

This asked alot of compelling questions, many of which I've yet to answer or insist on refusing to confront myself. The jealousy pulling at your ankles line was some great imagery, I could envision hands reaching out to drag me under as I leisurely went on to swim unconcerned with the world around me, the thought of people I don't even know wanting me to drown for my carefree demeanor passing through my mind, asking them, what have I ever done to offend you other than to live my own life? That's a question worth looking for an answer to.
