An Intake of Impurities By Rebecca Knight

Beneath the surface lies a mausoleum ofdeceit A hopeless maze of destructed tombstones Labeled with every false remark I ever preached My most popular engraved with ease And naturally tattooed to the tip of my tongue Each facade following the other Synchronizing, this mask cemented to my skin Follow those asterisks printed in disguise Matched to the wall of stone The microscopic font making a statement My death perpetually awaits me.
