Poem for Someone Else

Running off the deep end Into the depth of the world Very drained by sorrow Entering the under world Riding into the devils domain

Trying to survive Every last breath I count it in as close as I can Xylophones playing in through the dirty pipes Even the termites can’t stand it I’m drowning in fire Remembering water, the light of dawn through the dirt A thirst I can’t bear to survive through
