Mathew James

Tarnished soul

Dull,
Worn,
Scratched,
And torn.
 
An antique soul,
So young,
Yet so tarnished -
The strongest acid couldn’t bring it
Back to its original state.

(2014)

The words spoken By them. Knowingly sly and spiteful. So cold. So calculated.

Watching the world. Paper, Plastic, Celebrity, Religion.
Temporary blindness

Cowardice. Seeking comfort from chemicals. Not facing what I ought to face, Terrified. “..I was blind, but now I see..”

Your voice.

When you left, Your voice was always there. In the house, On the street. Everywhere.
Transference?

There is no more pain, No more grief, Anger, Depression, Anxiety;
A simple thank you.

Just a simple thank you. Thank you for guiding me. For always being there, waiting. Greeting me.
A gift.

Take this. This gift. An escape. Ever silent, Ever painless.

Beginning the journey.

Venturing into the unknown. The mind stops, terrified. Yet; the heart pushes forward, ever curious and hopeful.
