Ben

Hey, I'm back

I don't wanna be here again

being chased
or chasing my own demons

Darkly comforting
but oh so damaging.

I thought I'd emancipated myself

emigrated to sunnier climes
but it didn't take much time
to get all caught up.

I threw myself at the finish line

Meditated
and then walked it off.
Prayed an atheists Prayer
I screamed into the void
whilst the tools I employed

diminished in strength.

as Ben said All is now harmed
prove me wrong
some of us just don't belong

my courage is thin I'm terrorized
unoccupied but still alive.
