shadow of myself

a transition. a change. a reform.

some pain, some joy, some rest.


forward momentum, hollow soul, wishful thoughts

frail scaffolding. vain suffering. blind pride


ears ringing, pleasure absent, chores galore

meditated isolation. weak links. silicon dreams.


doomed future. numb desires. aching identity.

split self, trickled opportunities, washed potential.


new days, shining sun, blinding light

torn flesh. forceful push. agonizing days.


reckless moves. forced self. boasting speed.

calculated risk, perceived agency, shiny feelings


old thoughts, known enemies, lost battles

bloody kneeling. decomposed head. surrendered ideals.

abandonment shadowing the burn of who i thought could be.
