Analysis of Damage
Once apon a time is running out
My world is closing now,
Everything going out
Like bad habits
My life is damaging
Like them bright lights
And loud noises
Still can say...
I'm proud of my choices
It made a better me
Obsessed with imagery
That you seek around this earth.
I thought the womb was...
Since birth.
I can't consume a room
Without flesh.
Time is taking out the breath.
I inhale my last air,
Giving it all to planes.
So people can fly anywhere.
It's about time I meet the crisis
Will I be truely missed
Or just a chip off the block
Like devices.
My questions are paralyizing.
The defense of the lion fish.
I wish I was dying with a kiss!
