Analysis of Sinking



And it stains your skin,
Kills a skipping step,
An anchored heart splinters,
Blinded acetone burn.

Message through the dusk,
Afterthought but overmedicated,

Green hands beckon the daylight,
Stomach turns to lead,
A rusty, unridden bike.

Resentment geared at core,
Sediments of better days restrain,
Perfect wooden floors mean nothing,
You're wasted on me.

It is often quite abstract and truly not great (this is not my self-deprecation shining through), but I would really love to improve.I am inspired by the works of Mark Twain in particular, he is amongst the wisest men ever to have lived. more…
