― Rita Mae Brown

Within the state of mind
fits the perfect crime.
Beckoned by time,
but still one of a kind.
Within the state of mind,
Sits a thought.
Clever as ever,
Taught to be a never.
Within the state of mind
an animal is to burst
and quench its yearning thirst.
Within the state of mind
To be cruel and wicked
Is the ticket.
Within the state of mind,
you live your dark hopes.
That are usually tied by a rope
at the throat.
Within the pockets of reality,
the pressure is placed,
ready to be embraced,
at an even pace.
Within the state of mind,
memories pollute
pulling the strings of anger
that once sat subdued.
Within the pockets of reality,
dreams become actuality
your deepest atrocities suffice,
and you touch and wield the knife.
Use your hand,
demand
to understand.
Within the pockets of reality
Blood spills and leaves a chill.
Within the pockets of reality
it is a choice,
spoken by your voice.
Within the state of reality
when mentality dictates
and time breaks,
it leaves an opportunity
you choose to take…
