Leeches - Pariso

Staring at this shadow, an image I’ll forget.

It cloaks itself into many forms in every person I’ve met.

It finds it’s home in everyone who stands alone.

Let’s destroy our distractions and abolish our routines.

I embrace the way I feel as it makes me feel real again.

It’s an uncertainty that to carry on, my blood will have to be spilled and roll

down the hills.

A pound of flesh is taken, my freedom forsaken just so it is known that I’m not

in control.

I know that sometimes we make mistakes and it feels like a surge of hate.

I’m what time and circumstance have made me and I can’t cope with my anxiety

anymore.
