thrust upon us, this life is unchosen
as we trickle through the rivers and tributaries
into lakes and oceans sometimes left to dry out
sometimes left to our own limited devices
sometimes left
doesn’t everyone have their own crown of thorns?
but do you wear yours with dignity
or do you bleed on every person you touch?
leaving your mark as you rummage through
leaving your mark as you rummage through
will you paint the world as red as your tear-dried eyes?
but that’s not you, is it?
strong-willed and medicated, you make joan of arc blush
i am the unknown for there is emptiness within from shore to shore
and no place for sails or anchors or dreams...
forward and back the ship floats on ethereal oceans
and drifts timelessly into oblivion
the blue sky is a faint memory
and the crimson black crumbles over and over
and you burn
and you burn
once upon a time in a land far far away.
