Dehumanize


I want to experience how terrifying nature can sound when you're going insane

I want to feel how cryptic and catostrophic it can be 

I want it to intimidate me

Ignite fear inside my chest

Chop me to bits and tell me more about myself than I already know

I want it to ravage me and 

Make me have revelations

Construe and consume me 

Make me malliable and

Mold me into perfect person

I want to feel less human as 

Trees stay hunched over me 

Hungry for my life 

I am it's sacrifice 

Sucking the spirit out of me

I let leaves envelope and examine 

This exoskeleton that is my ego

Destroy and make material out of me 

Leave me breathless 

Break my bones

Break them into puzzle pieces to

Perfect creation for your pile of destruction 

Desecrate this "dormant" dome and make it your home 

I am yours
