I open your eyes, clean the third orb.
Position is relative.
I look back and see you forward.
Taking each step I have learned from already.
Strengthening your stride.

I fall behind and come ahead with you.
We are joined.

Bodies moving in concert.
A soul vacation of eternity.

Dancing between the dust motes. <3

Amble through the filthy streets.
Check the gutters for your intentions.
Your dreams are but litter.

Feel the grit of their smiles
Grinding against you like
An abrasive polish.

Scrubbing down the edges
Of your originality.

Making your square peg jam into that round hole
At the sacrifice of who you are.

Lubed up and shameful.

Raping your personality.

Conforming to the rigid standards.
Use softer words.
Always say please.
When you beg for your sanity,
for your sanctuary.

The home in your mind.
Burnt to cinders and rubble.
Smoke signals rising from the remains.

"I like you better this way."

Keep your rage in a lockbox,
cracked open late at night.
When society sleeps.

Let it beat against the walls.
Screaming in the shadows.
Creep through the back alleys
Of your psyche.

When even those that help turn to enemies.
Soiled and tarnished by other's wrongs.

Place the blame.
The pain.
The rage...
Rub it into their teeth.
Bitter sand in their gums.

And in yours,

Ruining your own meal,

fatherly screams of blame,
and thanking them for the Privilege.
