Empty Crown

Empty Crown

A Poem by AKhaus

I wear this empty crown and when it falls from my head it bears not a sound.
I feel the thorns in my side as these social constructs tighten around me like a boa hungry to feast.
Why can I not feel the moment as it plays but years into the swell I finally feel...
I wear this empty crown and keep my distance well.
I fall unto the ground and no tears will join me there.
Why cannot I not say the things I need in those moments that demand such rawness of soul...
I wear this invisible thought that I am more or less than what I was taught.
Please don't keep these things hanging over my head because I keep sinking below so far I feel more than dead.
