Afraid

This was written about my brother and how he was about ten years ago. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to vote, comment and fan!

Love,

Afraid

He’s not afraid to mar his reputation

Broadcasting his picture to the city

Disregarding the forceful Law

Telling his woes to strangers passing

He’s not afraid to mark up his body

Drawing leaking branches over his skin

Etching Picasso’s Blue Period masked by Red

To feeling nothing in a liquid made blackout

He’s not afraid of dying slowly

Spending an eternity in between massacres

Or sitting cold on the slab: coroner’s badge 

Letting wispy life slip amongst macabre fingers

He’s not afraid to close everyone out

Surrendering to the prick of the knife

Relinquishing to the drip of the drink

Submitting to the stab of the drug

Hiding behind the surpassing lies

Excavating a deeper trapping hole

Knowing leaving will only be apt

He’s only afraid to let anyone see his truth
