I

 

I’m from an empty place 

decorated with total chaos and darkness 

when each and everyone must run a race 

through passages to breathe life 

I came from a place of void 

emptiness and corrosive

where emotions speaks louder than words

a place of self control in doubt 

where we resort to unimaginable standards 

perforated hearts, mind and shin 

our tongues blabbing intensely 

we freeze and pause, then palpitate

our emptiness is loud 

it cries even from roof tops 

we, a mere clay, full of pride 

arrogance refuses to bid us farewell 

stealthily, we move in ignorance 

admonishing insanity boastfully 

foolishness and greed sew us a garment 

we wear it gracefully with pride and stupidity
