Mustering up positive
thoughts to conceal
the negative ones
simply alters the charges
to be confused and burnt out.

Brushing the electrified
animosity under the rug,
leaving the muscles
shaking, unsure.
Unable to defend against
the shock running toward
one's acidic soul.

Embrace the depths,
be passive to the
wired demons,
lest be dragged
into the void.
