set of nikes

set of nikes

A Poem by midnight reaper

I give you a set of nikees 
just like me its empty
envy the cold air inside
hide behind fabric 
lab rat no maverick
no praise needed 
a mat in my coffin for comfort
often I raise this question two breaths short
often my thoughts scattered
like the nikes I bought with mud splattered and fabric tattered
Ivs
I need 
for morphine
ivs 
I see 
through moonlight and trees
smoke trees too often
caught in the haze im loftin 
stuck coughin out incoherent thoughts 
jumpin out the plane I bought
manifested through thought
caught in this bullshit
I sit with the spit bucket
and my deepest desire in a locket
what do I see with my eye sockets
a set of nikees  and a pocket full of percasets 
bet you can be numb like me
here have an IV
full of broken dreams
tear you apart at the seems
it seems we the same
whos to blame
whos to say
what you have to display
if they forcing opinion you might as well be their prey
give in and that just might be the saddest day
but don't worry for you I'll pray
like clay life continues to mold away
a rough diamond to polish
demolish imperfection 
no direction like cleaning a set of nikees 
let go of filth to allow white polish like still seas
to shine beneath on holy feet
till dirt comes again to meet
having you on the seat taking time to clean away
alone with thoughts and no pay
weigh heavy on fabric to return holy white with a sight of sunlight and its rays
warm on your working shoulder
encouraging to move that boulder further
patience no furver
for in time beneath holy white shines
a sign of your times
his smile your dime 
everybody already knows 
so no need to hide behind rhymes insulated with fragile spaghetti foam
blow it in the air like confetti when that gun gets pointed to your dome
like rome everything falls stalls and calls for a new beginning 
like the set of nikees when holy white starts dimming
bet its just like me
the thousand lives lived before forgotten nightly 
havent been home in days and found it all rotten rightly 
kindly though
row blindly
back to what straying has denied me
hopefully you could find me home
with a set of nikees and a bone to pick only lightly 
with things done that has dirt sticking like gum
not even avoiding it by telling myself it only happens to some
knowledge don't mean you aren't dumb
experiences under societies thumb
leaves you nothing more than cattle
battle with other thieves for a slice no larger than a bolt thats rusting
resting is what you should be doing
for the storm brewing needs strength
bangs you like a nail if your legs grow frail
look behind the veil for strength
still have a chance to grow beyond the angst
water flows to roots as your leaves barter with sun light
and those nikees start shining with holy white
