inspired by Hearing Damage from Tom Yorke.

 
and if we really could make small, gradual tears in our membrane..
what would we dare replace them with?
more kindness?
less for granted?
small holes.
small worms.
swimming around our heads.
swearing that they will do us no harm, But, they do.
small rips. 
small twists and turns that burn into our souls like..
a branding. 
a blinding.
And what would we do? If we could truly choose
what holes to create?
And what things we allow to drop through them?
Brain Damage.
Something we all have.
Yet something we all wish for.
