I wonder where I am
If not here
Locked into this body
This cage of soul torturing pain.

It won’t release me.
Heavy blood-filled flesh and bone
Cling tightly to me
Finding any reason to hurt.

My mind plays tricks on me
Making me believe
That all is well
That without it, I would no longer exist…

But it needs me.

It needs me to survive.
I don’t need my flesh
My mind
To carry on through time.

Reality is becoming
A vague glimmer of memory
Life
Is becoming a dominatrix.

The senses have fooled me
Into staying…
That is the way
Of the human body parasite.
