i trip on a toe
stubbing the life
i used to know
stuck between this and death
grass which never greens
teeth which leave marks, greed
instead of love and peace
i transcend to a place of lifeless
the world i’ve always known
prune and discoloration
hatred and violation
i stumble between
leaving marks and scars
that only i can see
i twirl under the sky
wondering how far i’d go
if i could fly instead of fall
to fly
