Mutilations of Pursuit

We intoxicate temporarily to alleviate indefinitely;

The stressors that swell in the pressures inside.

Your escape is unhealthy

But successful in its cause.

Revel in the smoke that shields your eyes

Or the touch of one that insights such highs.

Just be warned

To rue the day

Your stress infects your attempts to digress. 

 

The enjoyment's torn from your bleeding hands

And the opaque shading shatters.

With it screams in quiet discretion

The breaks in mind and body.

The deficiencies you hold cannot reside

In the hollow cage they lived. 

They will demolish and disintegrate 

Walls of illusion intricately made

From torn skin, ripped hands

And the pores leaking chemicals.

 

All that's available, whilst scavenging the past

Is to employ methods to suit

The views of one's self.

Tear at the fabrics for need of a high

Counterbalancing the hatred with whatever.

You will wish to experience denunciations of all.

The release of burdens, guaranteed.
