To Be Conscious
February 3, 2019
Trick only yourself
Wear the skin of the best you've been
Care too much to do what you do
Yet you do and they care too much for what they've done
A law
Climbs a dynamite scarred mountain
Looking for forgiveness in subtraction
Subtracts the mountain
And you're back to swimming circles round your ego
Chasing deep ocean lights like they could be the sun
