A Forest without Leaves
Foraging through forgeries of what I’ve forged in me
You must forfeit what you need for what you desire more
You be the old me, I’ll be the new me
You steal the crumbs; I’ll just keep baking bread
A skeleton of twigs, I’m breaking all the time
It only makes me harder to climb
I’m far from the harbor and I’m harboring a criminal
His identity is (me)ant to be subliminal but it’s just sublingual
Hidden under my tongue is a prophecy more brilliant than a pearl
My brain engraved a grave placement out of the pavement
Leaving my body weighed down in the ocean
The waves drowning out all of my motions
