cover yourself in black ink
no inch of your true body may show
colored in black
absorb all
every blow to another
every tear of light the sun cries
every scream of the unshealtered and pained
every word i write
i write in ink
chisel in stone
never can it be simply washed away
leaving a mark never to be undone
shead the dried ink
save the broken ends
put them in a jar
air tight
never to be free
the burden becomes yours
you hide the problems from the world
find your own solutions
walk amongst the ones living this painful story you've shead
stand up and tell them all the end of the story you've predicted
lived through it all
absorbed them
felt their stories
been through the pain
defeated the horror of it all
swallowed the tears you feel on your cheeks
stood triumphant on the mound of the decaying corpes of truth
you broke reality
conquored it all
there's no way it could have happened
no way possible
i continue writing
in this ink
chisel in stone boulders no one can move
no one can ignore
cover yourself in ink
ever inch of you completely covered in the black ink
step out in the day
absorb it all again
shead the dried ink
examination once again begins.

i actually have a bit of critique.
ReplyDeletei like where you're going with this, but in some parts there seems to be too much detail. for example...
"lived through it all
absorbed them
felt their stories
been through the pain
defeated the horror of it all"
by the time you get to the last line, "of it all" doesn't seem necessary.
aaannnndddd...
"swallowed the tears you feel on your cheeks"
you started past-tense, then went into present-tense o.o
