Creepy creepers creep inside my skin. The dangling bits point out. I am crawling inside your mind, hoping for forgiveness, and maybe redemption. but will it be enough in this age of subordination? Stories become narratives, narratives become lies, lies are acted on, or not acted on, in the era of deception, everything is built on every other thing, which may not be anything, or just a thing completely different, a bed of lies, a broken affair, an unfortunate destiny, coloring extremes of polarities. I see you, lie, and say ‘I’m sorry’. But do I mean it? As long as I can get inside you or your being, deceive, detest, and manipulate. Fulfill the unending hunger of satiation. To touch skins, souls, minds, and their many entities, I wish to say ‘I’m sorry!’ For trusting someone without asking your conscience for the first time is a mistake, doing it again is a calling to be used, doing it again and again is an addiction akin to a disease.
