Banishing Rituals (verse)
Some dark moment revealed, long past
I try to find distractions, Something louder on the stereo than the muffler dragging behind me…. A sensation that overwhelms insistent shadows even if only held briefly… still nurtures Reducing darkness among the swirling scent of desperation One howl at a time Containing the Rage and Frustration with a well-practiced smirk Even when the crowd I'm pleasing consists of only myself Reckless endeavors (in devours?) pushing boundaries Limits surpassed Stretching Yet still finding the return to the shadow-valley an inevitable conclusion to each journey Undeterred from taking on the next adventure Listen: Never wish for bliss too early in life Lest it arrive and depart leaving you far emptier than ignorance or curiosity ever could
