Consider Me

The only glow I know is the one streaming from the screen in front of me.

Permitting some version of UV rays to gutter me

for I dare not step outside....It's far too beautiful

and there's something about this dark pit that feels like home.

Something about this dark pit that allows the lone...some

some sort of fulfillment.

Like....who am I to be at peace?

It feels too fucking good.

Broken shattered prayers

Nay Sayer...

This morning I knew hope.

Tonight disappointment tastes like water

But scorns like rope

I feel strips of my throat dropping to the pit of my stomach

Filling my core like stadiums

awaiting the righteous

but they never come.

We can go silent.

Inside reap the violence.

soundproof the sirens,

One day we'll consider me....
