Mentality

I don't remember why I wrote this, but I remember that I wrote it when I worked in a bank cash vault on a pile of money. Prophetic?

cold wounded night

my delight

pierced by self evaluation

darkness blackens the hole

and pure personification

is all that I know

uncatered life

spills my pride

stalked by my imaginaion

blindness attacks my face

and cold intoxication

forces me brave
