Barefoot in a shallow sea,
Hunched over LCD pictures of me
Narcissus' dream
Thinking
I once had a lovely spine that used to stand tall
And I'd sizzle with pride at everything I'd create
But these days, as the sea ebbs away
Revealing the driftwood, splayed
All I can say is same.
In reaction .gif replayed over and again
Castawayed

Then, dreaming a shallow dream
There by the light of screen:
A flickering sleep
A mass sickening
That's when I buried everything,
Shed all my precious skin
And headed for fields,
My back to the feels I once felt
Then, with grin, self-satisfying,
I headed for plains unknown
With no way to call back home.
I'd never been so alone.
And so, once again
Castawayed

True freedom is all but myth
Whether without or with
Sanity cracked / conscience intact
