i’ve been gone
for a long time
my mind
unhinged
tainted
exacerbated
by darkness and

test of wills?
light there awaits
punishment or peace
burning
bruising
controlling
welcome counter
to vapid refrain
ready or not, i come.

caffeine
booze
antidepressants
throw them all away
smash the bottles
discard the pills
try to find the you

without
any edges

Peace, people!
