NO INTERNET

 

I am not insane as you can see 

although my lungs are burning 

my voice hoax and burnt 

my inner voice dead and silent 

the hurt dealt a dent on my sanity 

it’s trauma lingers in my five senses 

try not to engage me a perilous duel 

I might render you to pieces before the whistle 

death would have been easier for my soul 

a misconstrued crony we label with disdain

I kid you not as I say this 

it’s warm embrace is eternally beautiful 

my psyche loses its connection sometimes 

I stare into space wondering how did I get here 

no internet to process the darkness in my mind 

no light in my soul to rekindle my sanity 

I am a blood cloth in life’s capillaries 

a vain and vile man, damaged and lost 

rehabilitation will only fuel this darkness 

let me soliloquies in this solitude
