Where You Begin
The first time
Is a pin prick
To unstitch
Your skin
To feel yourself
Begin
You search your being
You are it:
Coursing through yourself
The second time
You search inside
A stranger
Behind the corner shop
You find where he begins
Adrenaline!
But come back,
Stinking of rot
Void of thought
To feel what?
What are you searching for?
To begin again
And again begin
The third time
You swim in empty bottles
To see if you can drown
To feel…
What was it?
Adrenaline!
To begin again
And again begin
Chase!
After sensation
Fear and excitement
Are the same thing
But the more you chase
The farther away it gets
The longer you run numb
Hollow like tin
Until you can begin again
And again begin

The thrill of new, the disappointment of normal (whatever that is) The addiction to life. Don't regret.
