an open wound 

reveals my flesh

I swirl and turl

as I make my way

through the the love and the pain

and this emptyness

I see nothing at all

yet I hope

all the fears all the doubts

all the tears I shed

shelter me in this mantle

of nothingness

my skin is torn from all the hussling

with this truth 

I worked so hard 

to deny

and molten lava skies

fall over me fall over me

as my whole world collapses

all over me all over me

but ain’t life a gift?

ain’t life a sin?

and beautiful molten lava skies

fall over me, fall over me

as my world fades away

into nothingness

I breathe
