I shut the door – behind me that is
I press play
the sound unleashed from the release of my thumb
through the cord bursting, showering my brain
uplifting everything I have. My heart. My shoes. My eyelashes.
It pulls me wide
on the veins of my soul
I don’t spread my wings…I don’t have any
but I run run run and race
past the gate
the streets
the bugs & flies
the web of lies
pretense
the track
the time
my world [their dogs]
I leave behind all there is
I run run run and race
into
nothing
that is
all
to
me

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
