tug of war
at each end of my mind
one saying stay
and
one saying fight

each time stay wins
I'm paralyzed

each time fight wins
I'm antagonized

but when I'm stuck
in the center

I'd rather just
cut the rope altogether

keep telling me how to
Act
Speak
Write
see how long until
the house you built
burns
to the f*ckingĀ ground
house is symbolic for self worth

Love can breathe life
Bring life
Be life

If you can love yourself enough
To believe love

a crowd of seagulls
they orbit our head
not waiting to be freed
only waiting to be fed
they aren't fed
shine isn't food

a crowd of people
they orbit our world
not waiting to be fed
only waiting to be freed
they aren't freed
shine isn't wealth
Financial consumption
