It’s such a languid, lethargic Saturday and I really can't be motivated to pretty up and go party so I guess you've got to put up with my rubbish. I finally finished reading Handmaid's tale and its' not half bad (though why I finish the book after the test eludes me).
O (ffred) ppressed.
Take a walk
Through a lonely mind
Sift through darkness
See what you find
Echoed promises
As we clench at dirt
A whisper of wishes
Lost for words
Mumble. Mumble.
As the repressed speak
Fuck the system
Freedom we’ll seek
Drive a dagger
Through a heartless cavity
Blood stained hands
For all to see
Hidden amongst the seams
Of reality in dystopia
The burden of future
Future generations we'll bear
A prayer for an awakening
For this nightmare to end
Flashbacks but an escape
Out souls we'll duly fend
Temptation to give in
Buy into their lies
Forget about the past
Oh how time flies by
Rush of adrenaline
Escape so near
Blaring sirens
The route to freedom so clear
Enveloped in darkness
Pitter patter of running feet
Strain for a whisper goodbye
Drowned out by pounding heartbeat
Then all is black.
Take a walk
Through a lonely mind
Sift through darkness
See what you find
A vicious cycle
Time knows no bound
Chauvinism reigns
It’s all around.

And when it gets hard to breathe.
