Shock and robots; the locked door opens


 I crawled out of my grave. I stare with red rimmed eyes in shock as the emotions and truth
 rape my brain. I gasp and swim
 with the stars as my eyes swim in tears full of epiphanies. I walk along the road,
 my head screams as I dance mournfully with my stumbling feet. I look
 to the dying sun's beauty and see it as a symbol. It will come up again if it grasps and takes in its will.
 Rise sun rise!
 Everything excretes meaning as the world moves. And I stay still. For now I'm still.
 Should I run? The trees are arching menacingly. The wind howls through their torn leaves.
 That reminds me; I'm a little torn. Robotically, I reach for the tape and band-aids. 
Soon it will be time to fight again. 
Now let's just drink in the beauty... but when will I have to run?
Is the onslaught done toying with my strings?
I want a drink. Guzzle, guzzle, fly. 
Is this insanity again?
Tomorrow I will melt into the sun.
