Run, and escape yourself.
Run, become void of desire.
Run, let go of stimulating pain.
Run into the arms of the dull ache.
Run from me.
Fear for your life.
I have cast you out.
You have no place in me.
I’ve carved you out
and I feel lighter.
My hollow body easily
drifts with the wind.
Others spike at my soul:
that which I cannot remove
by virtue that it is always me.
And it aches.
My shell rots
and filth flows into it.
I run faster and degrade quicker.
Grind me down to the very center.
Once nothing is left,
I’ll be free!
A soft and empty smile.
