Obscurity is in the eye of the beholder. These two poems are not all they at first appear.
Don't hurt me,
So
Influenced to feel
Hollow.
Unfortunate to thus become
Lowly to
The ground, and halt
There,
Look closer still;

Ten times a tiny fault
Does so grow,
And lo--
All pause a mome' to view--
Such invective flow,
Whose pressure so intense
Thus spews,
Wreathed in my presence
Won't postulate pretense.

So alone--
Thus freedom follows.

-------------------------------------------------

Suicidal tendencies
Take me far, make me breathe
The warm air of such failure,
Speak,
Yet cold-- with the equation--

Weak.

Of course,
Death would come more easily
To those would preference to see me
A suicidal entity
Doctrine of empathy
Or rather-- take to etherea'

Where manifests delusion
And so inside illusion
May integrity, pray, prosper
As done when should be proper.

Yet;
Is it suicide as such
To be proven to
Say,
When, in such vile hypocrisy,
Simply put:

"More weight."
