I am not the sum of my heartbeats,
living a white noise existence
content with only what hands will hold.
No.
I am not a passive breath
robbed, without reason.
Yesterday is a prison,
yet the two hands hold us
tight, with no remorse,
no mercy, no care.
Relentless.
No rest.
This is more than an experience.
For me, this is transcendence.
Maybe.
I am the sum of all I have left behind
and all I have learned.
Immortal with no escape
from this Slowburn.
