Trances - Viridian

Day after day

My veins are flooded with a feeling that I can’t shake

Water consumes the breath-ways

As I descend into purgatory

Spiraling, fleeting before my eyes

We watched our world fall apart

Instant implosion

A supernova in the sky atop the depths

Remains of potential aflame

Skim the surface above

Raining debris

Harbored mistakes cascade their way down

Left to drown in this body I know so well

Descend, vessel, descend

Fighting a parasite smarter than I with no regard for their host

Descend

This hypnotizing trance

Countless efforts to turn it all around

Exhausted of any remaining breath

A mouthful of regret constricting my neck

Servant and master

DISOBEY

Bow to me, no progress to be made

Attachment — disconnection

This hypnotizing trance

Giving myself no other choice but to break out of it

Flood all expectations

I am not your friend

Suspended on the tightrope

As you struggle to keep balance

Let’s see how much you can bend

Before you break

Break
