Mental Shifts

I’m gutter feelings, this quaking flame, elusive as mind-power; that kneaded miracle, at highs for lows, cursed as kissing its shadow; this webbish tempo, this cadence for secrets, while forgiveness is segue; this vague enrichment, as ditching accountability, while liberating a conscious soul; as mother would cringe, as honor is sacrifice, while irrigated by something hateful—this terrible feeling, aloft unto pillows, seated in sullen venom: afore a mirror, leering at a stranger, feeding this inner person: as silent justice; or salient woes; at tears to force doing what’s right; this subtle nuance, at heart’s disposal, as to suggest an intricate correlation; as knowing justice, as un-cuffed freedoms, or more those thoughts as selfish. I’m gutter feelings, this dark confession, as not to change our status.

It should be simple—aside so many thickets, as wishing for confession; this mind of souls, whereto, are tears, whereby, is splendor; but pain is raw, where face-value is law, while secrets are kept neatly: this fool for thoughts, as articulated reasons, an opus by chance our terrors; as souls weep, alarming brains, as digging with shovels—to unpack caves, as to see that face, while one is taking courage. It churns that way, this motif as sorrow, where charm is mistaken; to rummage through passions, or to scribble a memoir—that feeling as recurring; as conscience writhes, that mental pivot, a few are privy; to utter nothing, faced with perversion, vying for entrance; this mind of falsities, where a fantast prays—clawing at metal bricks.
