Direction Or Conflict

if i could disappear inside
a dark black nothing
with this whole confusing bundle
of emotions and
timeless desperations,
i'd book a swift and sudden passage,
as soon as not.

but i know this wish
could hold no hope of understanding
nor eliminations of,

for even inside of a
pitch black nowhere,
i'd find something there
worth needing.....

so it is here,
where needs and desires
are always piggy-backing themselves
to precious wants
and parade themselves around
in mock and grimace,

that i must stay and
try and separate
these tyrants,
and choose,
not to inherit some
same and senseless nature.
