Numb
I've got this flu that just won't lift
A constant cough and runny nose
Tired eyes and raw throat,
My doctor fills me with concoctions of Antibiotics and Pseudoephedrines
To help me fall asleepΒ
To Fly with my demons in chemical dreams.
Most days I'm numb,
Just fading through life,
Awaiting the arrival of my decisions
Tormented by the red skin of Christ,
He runs towards me, wild and bloody
Eyes of dark hills and broken fences
Nails that rust this unfamiliar country.
I watch the humans carve there paths
In corridors white and stainless steel
Forming edges that hide all they feel,
They Manifest and fall in coded process
Dividing my reason, splitting my sanity
Banging my head upon distant reality.
I feel forgotten by my maker
Some ancient prometheus,
One who wanted to design a race
But got bored when we sought his embrace,
Now we fight our empty selves
Fucking and murdering our way
To a congested hell
It feels never ending, this existence
Like I've done this before
But I can't take it anymore.
I've got this flu that just won't lift
I guess it's time I give the maggots a gift.

Thank you so much Marion, I honestly don't know where some of these words come from, I do see the bloody Jesus, I can see him in my minds eye, its usually on a stretch of road near my house, he is always chasing me, it's odd to say the least. Then there is the dark hill with the broken fence in my lucid dreams.
Not sure what to make of it, anyway,Β thanks for stopping by, π§‘
So true, life can be a miserable slog. Just got over the flu myself actually.π€§
Great piece.

Great lines!
I hope you get well soon x
Thank you, these words are all part of the madness of existence, I just can't accept our position here on this earth, I think I need to travel more π€.Β
Having just recovered or very nearly from my second bout of Covid, I know exactly what and how you feel my friend ..
I get the distinct impression that this was significantly more than just Man Flu which of course is just awful being one myself .. sounds like you may have had some kind of febrile hallucinosis .. either that or someone slipped an acid tab in your Lucozade ..
I thoroughly enjoyed stopping by here this mane my friend and I now absolutely insist you get better real soon .. All Good Things,
