Gasp of Air

by FireFly - Libra

The stalemate born from no stimuli-
The rush of intellect that falters at the last gasp of air-
In those moments-
You find the opportunity-
With your spent faith in life-
To embody the monsters-
You’ve become-

The ulcer that stretches and grows-
Has a life of its own-
With grinding teeth and sweaty palms-
You fight to stay alive-
Engulfing yourself in a purgatorial indifference-
To justify-
And vindicate-
The vandal in you-

What are you doing?
