Dread of Acidic Tears
By R. Cary
The dread of acidic tears burning my future to misery’s company
Pairing certainty persuading my senses to run, to hide in momentum,
My consciousness exhausted, wanting, lacking in thereof; wondering
Amusement in persuasion of purpose chosen, my fated monotony prolific
In destiny; determined my tears run in conscious streams subduing the
Future I; the I only seen in isolation, in fatigue, corroborating the searing of my
Skin, as I run in lacking movement, a constant motion of existential paralyzation,
My future living in static agonized despondency as I learn to love in
Misery’s company, a resiliency sworn subjugating the present I to the
Loss of my future I; remorse confiscating my heart only seeks to concede
Against my purpose of up high I reside, this toll will exceed my devised truth
Pursuing my obligations, as I wait in denial; destination aroused, embodiment
Upends my recognition towards inbound fate pressuring into distillation,
The acid of my tears, the dread of my momentum, resting in loss, the future I.
