What Do You See?

By Nathaniel Terrell

If you see a wall around me, stay away
but if you see a boundary, kudos to you
for understanding that my energy requires protection

If the culture is poisonous,
I will detach to find a new tribe,
before I perish with the collective

I am afraid to fall asleep,
Dream that I’m in heaven,
then, wake up burning in hell

I am driven to break the curse
so the next generation in my bloodline
will not suffer under this spell

It was such a fun distraction, she is gorgeous
for some reason, now we can’t be friends

The beginning was so long ago
My how I’ve grown in the middle
I will hate to see this all comes to an end
