Woke


 day one

you woke 

everything you thought you were,

before you closed your eyes and inhaled the dreams of your twisted line,

is discovered to be a lie

a falsehood, trickery, fabrication

disappearing behind a cloak of aberration

crawling on hands stuck to scarred wrists

pilfering life from dumpsters of deception

avoiding the glares of incandescent veneer

snubbing red streaked orbs within the mirror


you woke

purity of thoughts

not meant to be shifted, changed, sliced, diced, redefined, realigned 

altered by a syringe of soiled crystalline

caressing an ignorant conscious 

boasting to change God’s perfect design


you woke

celestial spirits scraping scales from your denying eyes

looking down to discover god created you

to look up


day one

you woke

sober
