The desire for the land of peace
The land of solitude and serene steps
I arrive there and my dragon eats me
And spits me and then eats me again
My bliss, my enlightenment
Is a nightmare, it’s a torment
My peaceful ambitions are severed
And instead I arrive in a hotness
In a hot mess that becomes my home
I move in with a monster and the monster
Is me. I eat my tail for breakfast
And at dinner I eat all of my dreams.
There’s nothing left in this chaos
I keep losing everything
Yet my smile keeps shinning
On my face like a grin
My eyes shine from the fire
My feet dance out of fear
My life is surrendered completely
To a God that has mercy
But not on the weak.
