A long, weirder than usual poem about the consumption of what drives my passion to write. |
-Feel It Swallow- by Keaton Foster Between life Despite hope Somewhere centered A mediocre middle Just like an artificial filling Between two delicious cookies Eating it becomes more of a chore Then it’s damn near worth When that happens It is no longer palatable But rather a dangerous consumption The potential is always present Stuck in my throat Such a mountainous object Somehow jammed in sideways Only meant to make me suffer Choking upon these words And their ideological meaning I became and will remain Unable to speak over the fear Of what it will further mean Resorting to pen and page Again and again I slave Masterful in many ways Things can appear as every possible other Meaning is never as simple as definition Many lies all run headlong Into one irrefutable truth Something that I cannot escape Reality made quite clear Feel it swallow Suffocating upon the meaning Undeniable is every possible reason Understanding and thus changing What is right to what is wrong For better or worse No difference does it seem to make Let not an edge go to waste Take what is mine and make it yours I would care less if it was possible It without question is not In my throat Between life Despite hope A mountainous object Jammed in sideways Meant to make me suffer As it goes down Tearing and shredding Someday before long It will reach my gut In that place it will remain Like a festering sore Wanting more and more Never to have its appetite met An empty pit never will it be filled I will of course suffer most More than I do now More than ever before Feel it swallow I’m of course not normal These words, a clear indication Reality left as a cryptic message Meant to let those interested know What it’s like to be who I am And what it will be like to be At some point without me I will be doomed by what I consume And what I try but fail to spit out This is my life, meant to be expressed As if there could ever be anything less… Feel It Swallow Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2013 |
