Alive & kicking

Back
to the same reality
w/
slight variations

back
to the same
push & pull to get
away from
in due time I
actually
pray
won’t take so___
long

back
to the same sickly
feeling
in my gut
saying I refuse to
take this
backward bullshit
to assist
another’s illness

to be
freed from
mine

back the fuck up!

I will
untangle
those tentacles,
I will
find my way
&
no one
is going to stop
ME
from getting
BACK
to being___
alive.
