The grotesque vision of a life's discarded reverie
alienated from the cultural root, wanting to be free
holding on to the body, eyes wide open but can't see
the soul has taken to ether, yet the mind won't let it be
paradox in action, clinging to genetic memory tenaciously
psyche striving for change, as the ghost persists imminently
the spirit rising in anticipation but unable to leave permanently
such a state of disturbance to be handled with kid gloves, gently.
