The Divide Between

-The Divide Between-
by

Hear me
Feel me
See me
Believe me
These words
My home
My bones
My true God
There is no other
Never has been
Never will there be
Cursed from the start
An unquantifiable spark
Meant to burn everything down
No reason can stand true
No hypocrisy can be placed
The divide between
Is an intrical space
And I am sure that I am
Just outside the fold
I am quite different
Some say
In amazing ways
Others say
Insanely in his case
Either way
I am doomed
By both my choices
And my undeniable affliction
But such damnation
Is not yet close
is not yet mine
Until it is
I will live
I will fight
I will express
Nothing to be left
Upon this page
And every other one
That waits
An ambiguous stain
Sort it out as you wish
Cover it up
Expose it to others
I care even less
This is
And has only ever been
About one particular thing
One finite need
That must be met
A deeply seeded sickness
Pours from within
Oozing out
Exposing the impossible
Then turning it on its head
Making others think
What is being said
Masterful ideas
Or illogical quandaries
The divide between
Shorter and shorter
To me it does seem
I will fight to bridge any gaps
I will fight to leave much behind
As I fight to get everything out
My mind
Oh how could it be defined
A weird wilderness
An endless landscape
Suffocating blackness
That occasionally
Is brought out into the light
Every so often all is exposed
Only then does the divide between
Seem to be bridged
Those who listen to what I say
And those who fight to understand it
Stand with me in the same place
A place that I know
As many of us as possible must go…
