an act of ambition, am i even doing this for me was it ever for my own sake? foundation shakes the lines draw loose uneven i've been lost from day one and this road is fractured my tires are manipulated to believe in their own strength and push and pull and work and sleep the darker hours relax me, remind me where i belong where i'm allowed to breathe the shades don't rise inside this frame empty becoming a fraction of my being. was that the world outside my window? it's been painted over suppressing the view i had grown to love pretending this painting is the most beautiful creation i've ever seen.
