i have always been tethered
to this world,
this reality,
this state of spiritual being.
but tonight,
i made the mistake of severing that tether.
and now,
i feel like i'm floating away into emptiness.
i can feel my spirit vibrating inside of me,
trying to be set free from its fleshy prison,
and my fingers and toes are numb.
i can't think clearly,
i don't know where i am
or what time it is.
my first mistake was cutting that tether,
my second mistake
was not setting the sail for
where my spirit could wander.
now, my spirit is just beginning
to float away into nothing.
i feel lost,
like i'm dreaming,
but i know that i'm awake.
i shouldn't have broken that tether.
