The Quiet

Living inside my own head, most

would call me recluse;

their eyesight glued on assumption

witnessing my pompous &

mysterious ways.

But they are highly mistaken——

I truly am open & humbled

in my analysis

of them, of you and

what makes you "tick,"

questioning the lucidity of it all.

Why does music really soothe your soul?

In the basement bedroom with those friends

that haven't come to mind in ages. And

an Eminem mixtape——

before He was a

Rolling Stone——when His rhymes were

crucial, often heard through clouds

of Marijuana smoke

blaring out of old speakers 

ready to blow.

And why would you really surrender?

Then leap into magma of Mount

Mihara,

where that fragile college girl

perished, turned to liquid, who

just couldn't keep quiet any longer.

Bewildered by her desires for women

(same ways a man desires women),

inspiring others to make true of

"Suicide Point:" the scene of much demise.

I know how the world works:

scrutiny smothering our heads

like a fog with unconditional

darkness.

I beg of them.

I beg of you, to understand

that these black shadows are real

in my head——pinning silent sin-

filled hearts to filthy sleeves.
