Still undecided
need more time to think,
do I try and move past this
or do I stay here and sink?

In these early hours
when my superpowers
are at the lowest ebb
it is then and only then
that I get caught up
in a web of my own making.

I should take supplements
maybe some home brewed
medicaments,
I am lacking in something or
something is lacking in me.

But I am a man
so I put on a brave face
to save face
and realise
that this kind of thinking
is basically another way of sinking,

we're all hanging on to the
edge
waiting for the end of the world.
