once more

break that tie.
slash that knot.
crash out of the bottle.
before you die.

watch that hand.
deceptively accurate.
countdown.
to the last grain of sand.

it's all a mad race.
achievement.
accolades.
adulation.
make space.

loving hate.
steal the show.
cracked ceiling.
find that trait.

linked chain.
metal.
line of control.
favours.
gentle words.
screw your brain.

hamster wheel.
round.
round
round.
jam.
stuck.
fixed.
round
round
all a blank reel.

defense mechanism.
retort.
regress.
day dream
delinquency.
and over again
multi coloured prism.

scram.
beat it.
all that's left.
is a tiny bit.

run.
so far
now
don't prod.
the healing scar.

yell.
gently shed.
mask on.
see the bleeding red.

rebel.
it's only.
solely you.
