breath out

quiescent keys to warp speed penetration;

straight to the point
when straight was never an option.

expectant and hesitant heeding and halting,
faltering unexpectedly

but honestly-

it wouldn't have happened
if you didn't ask.

ask me if i'm ok
ask me if i 'm happy

but don't tell me you understand
because no one ever has.

psychosomatic semiotic
seismic bullshit.

labels repel
i rebel
i resist

and then i reconsider.

mind was always
the enemy,

i have fallen
for the enemy,

eventually

this too shall pass.

i can feel the future closing in
why resist
why persist

to pretend
that we are ready for the end.

i keep looking to the past
perhaps
this is fate
perhaps
this is fake
perhaps
we keep saving face
to procrastinate
the inevitable.

impenetrable.

my position
on giving in.

we go on and on

even if we
becomes

me

i go on and on

can only go right
when i'm no longer wrong


right my wrong
write my wrong
what is left
is all we have
to sing along

smile pretty
sit tall

pretend there is nothing wrong at all

lay down
close your eyes

there is no time left
to compromise
