The Chair
Juggernaut of death
created from the depths
One clean cut
makes the world run red
This damned chair stands
between time and tears
My toes wobble and shake,
threatening to give way
Nothing good can come of this
I know this to be true
But the suffocating task
of trapping perfection
Drowns me in the feeding frenzy
of what’s needed to survive
That life is life worth fighting for,
that various insecurities shine bright
Free me from such foolish games,
such popular fallacies
On this hand of yours,
I’ll dance no more
It really pisses me off
Tell me what is left for me,
what’s here to pull me back
