I shall from this take my fill, Although I dread it, I know in my mind's eye That is good to me. Like good yet bitter medicine. And so I drink with tears running down my cheeks Yet I drink it all. With all my being I down it. It is only poison to the "foreign bodies" that seek to invade my true being. It is about time I drink all in my cup

…*never mind the façade, everything soon comes full circle. Metamorphosis, all this vanity fair will exhaust the sweetness, and the Child will cry for the Mother once again*… holdfast, this too shall pass.

Live Up!
Using my arms as my legs across this bottomless pit Came too far to beg, coz’ they’ve forgotten this spit *The old hag, great fall and rat scratches on the sole of my feet*… *Oh, what the heck, I’ll recreate all the bad sketches on the wall of my feat*!! Lost tooth, the devil loathes across my smile It costs truth, but level roads are not my style

this isn’t going to make sense cause it’s not supposed to and if I’m being honest this isn’t for you it’s not even for me I’m stuck I’m trapped I’m lost I’m every other word that describes people who feel at a dead end I’m typing on a ****** phone That’s connected to a ****** connection That could possibly be a metaphor for my life I’m writing Because I don’t know what else to do I’m writing Cause that’s what they told me to do But they also told me that what I think isn’t always true That I’m special and I just don’t see it But that’s the thing I don’t see it And if I don’t see it then why should it matter if anyone else does And if I’m thinking something why should it matter if it’s true What matters is that it’s in my head What matters is that it’s always there But here I am Stuck in the same place Back to square one No progress made The same questions, whether true or not Will I amount to anything? Do I really help? Am I really worthwhile? Do you actually care? I see these people When I’m online They smile and post They edit and pose I can’t help but wonder Do you really smile, or do you just do it to look happy like me? Do you really feel happy, or are you trying to lie like me? Do you understand what I feel? Or is it just me? I’m not trying to be selfish I don’t want a lot I just want to be happy And I want others to be happy with me But neither is happening So instead there’s a poem That doesn’t even ryhme That makes no sense I’ll try harder
