There are forces...




There are forces..
That force us
to admit {pray}

We love our cars (bod
ies)
We love our speed (fun)

We love feeling BIGger {immortal}
But there are forces
Forces like forward motion {d_ath}
And {grav}ity
and so we’re betrayed
{feels like it}
Flung {fling}
Trapped {depr
rest shh} laid to

..and we hate it.. {but who cares?}

dreamer...
Its kinda hard to explain...
Its a sensory poem..u have to flow along with the words...
It's sort of a stark view of our loves and their trappings (literally)..and the metaphor for life and its trappings..following the poem in parhentesis..with some arrangements and omissions to help in the sensory experience..

sarah...
well..the subject matter is such..

come running...
thanks!
