Peeling back my skull
Pressure ripping through the bone
Pain drives, can’t focus

Heart of Stone

July 4, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Her heart of stone
Sedimentary rock
Made of pressure
Upon layers of
Heartache and
Pain

Depression’s Brutality 

June 10, 2017 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Feeling failure
As i lack
The adoration
Of millions

Since i don’t
Possess a legacy
Where the future
Will study my relics,
A sense of reverence
Seeking proximity
To my memory

The world existing
Entrenched brutality deep
Sunlight clears the fog

Childhood’s Collapse

April 7, 2015April 7, 2015 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Daily decay’s
Raging presence
Death’s fragrance
Fills me deeply.

Then that morning’s
Ragged breathing,
Brutal truth of
Impending silence.

So begins doom
Tendons within the neck
Pulled, slowly, growing
Into ferocity, mercy unknown.
Powerless, collapsing within.

Seeking, simply, to continue
To exist upon the other side.
Survival, sometimes, a worthy
Goal.
