Time For Annihilation..On the Record, and On The Road (Explicit)
By Papa Roach
see relatedLet The Truth Sink In
I use permanent ink to stain truth inside my skin but it washes away like sidewalk chalk after a rainstorm. That’s okay, I can still feel the sting of truth as it saturates my flesh, sinks inside my bloodstream, settles inside my bones, nestles itself between marrow and plasma, and calls my poisoned, deadening veins home. I welcome it like a hobo picked up off the streets of New York City, bathed, groomed, and set-to-rights for a red carpet premiere. As long as I know the truth lingers inside, swirling down the drain with the rest of my cells, I can continue constructing this façade that drapes my face in dishonesty and disgrace; but behind this mask you can’t see my tears, so as far as you’re concerned they don’t exist. I bury my skin in permanent ink instead of scars- glass cuts better but ink disappears faster.
My prose poetry is always so much more personal than any structured piece I've ever written, and yet they're all so much more cryptic.

Your commentary on this is so true. This is intriguing and in of itself, but it gestures to a story.
@LiquidityOfSelf - Am I to take a hint from your last couple comments to me concerning these posts that you want me to write something of more length? xP
@MyHomeIsWriting - haha WRITE A BOOK WRITE A BOOK
@LiquidityOfSelf - I've been trying with several pieces but I don't have the dedication or continual motivation to finish anything. I am trying though!
@MyHomeIsWriting - Nah I understand dude - that's why I'm not going to start novel writing until after undergrad. A book needs obsession ;) Haha we can motivate each other THEN
@LiquidityOfSelf - Lol. Sounds like a plan.<3
The prose poetry is always...I really like how it turns out, and how well you use it.
@DarklyLitWords - Thanks; I like it too because it allows me to write prose and yet still use the rhyme and musicality of poetry. It's the ridiculously happy middle ground that I only just found a couple years ago, thanks to some poets here that use it.
