FEEL Sticker

FEEL Poem and Artwork by Pierce Koma   I let myself die by the hand of a broken man He pushed his palms out expecting love But was offered sand I'm a murdered man I'm out of time Can't make up So I pick up every grain by hand Mask my heart because dependence is the greater need to keep our minds on land I love the pain But I'm turned down by the shame that I'm offered Took the meds But on the wrong wave My minds being altered My hands are bleeding but I'm too thirsty to wash it off With the holy water Stress fills my heart Like the breath in my lungs Eating away at my psyche And leaving little bread crumbs Anxiety scorching my nerve endings with grief How can he be apathetic But still feel his life tearing at the seams?
