Compromised

Feeling the blue blight of shocked, sightless eyes
A break in the horizon leaves me in thoughtful compromise
It is a cut horizontal in it's dimension
which cleaves the edge of my heart and frays my intention.

Non benevolent absolution
that attempts to appease my mind
a play at pretension, owned up to but it is secretly hoped,
that the disguise of intellect will go unnoticed

But the insides of stupidity so artfully concealed
beneath a fickle mental layer of sawdust revealed
under the battering punch of a heavy weight boxer
smashing it to smithereens.

Driving into the layer beneath
deeper into the emptiness within
creating questions of enormous self doubt
bleeding, seething, revealing all

All the darkness cleverly concealed
the pit of doom is uncovered beneath
and through the light layer of forest brush and leaves
I fell screaming
towards the sharpened, poisoned beams.
