family...

this is the first poem i've written in a long while. i dont think it's finished yet, but it illustrates the image well...



there are just so damn many of them
viciously beating against the glass walls of my illusions
making faces and drawing obscenities in their foggy breath

running frantically in my dome of glass searching
for shallow corners to hide in
clumsily tripping over misconceptions and forgotten dreams

I am lost.

the depth of my perception falters
my glass armor vanishes
exposed and isolated in this sea of anger and spite

they rapidly close in
blocking any possibility of light
shrinking into a dark infinity

I am lost.
