Accelerated Growth
Sometimes overflowing
There are many forbidden rooms
In my brain
Places I’ve crossed once
Forever sealed in me
*
I have to avoid
*
Bad plus bad equals bad
Bad plus good supposed to equal good
Good plus good equals excellent
*
Mixing like cocktails
Impossible ingredients
Diffident versus daredevil
Determined versus docile
*
Loosening the grip
On the society string
Knitting its ways
To the most intricate degree
*
Imposing their lives on me
Cutting the threads
Cutting the corners
*
Long story short:
I live in the darkness of my brain
No, not in ignorance
But knowing too much
Bullshit all around
Still philosophising on the subject
The eternal struggle between good and evil
Inside and around me
*
Bouncing in hiccups
Waves rising up to my throat
Overflowing
Never as low as before though
*
