will i ever get up again??

by Antwan Fields - Aries

life is slow and beginning to suck and this is a putsch and i am slowly going under 
anaesthetic, nurse! as my eyes close and adolescense slides by and hell is a phone call away and fear replaces hope until the two are interchangeable, begin transmission now 
and i fall to my knees in worship of someone who isn't there
and never has been, and never will be. and walls come up in my face and i run around them
until one moves directly in front of me and i smack into it with all of my weight and 
fall, and the crowd whispers "is he faking?" while waiting for me to get up
i don't...
will i ever rise again??
that's not my choice
i think.
do i want to get up???
