induce wounds;
the unnamed
set fire to their insides;
countless

to submerge deeply;
multifold

you must drown yourself in
privilege
whereas pain is a
a sentiment to be blissful for—
signifying ones ability to feel
for the uncountable are apathetic

as how drowning
requires one to be rather chuffed
since toiling for a breather
signifies a will to breathe;
manifold
posses burnt lungs—
the passive
percieve air as non-essential

inasmuch as, blood found to be
an escape from reality
looked upon as a drug
side effects including:
blurred vision, short-term peace,
calm before the storm,
a flight to paradise, and
an exhaust to the heat-inducing
flames of thoughts

the untold show blithe for
a pinch to a non-existent limb,
sensations of frostbite
in the middle of summer,
invasion of darkness during midday,
and the sound of music
to the ears of the deaf

lucky ones
consider this:
you must drown yourself in
privilege
for many have once felt
what is indefinitely gone.
