transcend

you cannot lure my mind

not with your soulful music

you cannot carve me a smile

not with your stories of superheroes

you cannot breathe into and out of me peace

not with your eyes closed shut

i hear screams, shrieks and the slow hum of death

i feel and understand pain, i indulge in it

i see hands digging deep for gold, for money, for more

reality is charismatic

awareness makes me smile

fights bring me peace and joy

i hear, i feel, i see

its real and its now

its sick and its happiness

i live, i die
