Toast
The struggle is real
It's the raw deal
Together we feel
Subjugation for a 'meal'
Here, raise a glass
For the time has passed
Now, we relax
No anxiety attacks
Imbibe the heat
For your momentous feats
A just earned treat
... On repeat
The chemicals flow
Too easy to let go
Doomed, we know
Let's put on a show
Let's
pretend
we know things
Imagine
we are inspiring
Never
contriving
To the bottom of the glass we are diving
Morning comes, we feel like ****
Did we strike gold? Land a hit?
Awkward encounters to acquit
A lonely, frustrated fit
Try it again, same as the last
Nothing learned from lessons past
The handful of sand, we grasp
The loaded die we cast
The 'House'
always
wins
Against our incredulous sins
At the end, we begin
To justify our reasons to do it again
Out of time, out of place
Lost inside an inner-space
A truth we ignore to face
Inherent in the patterns of mental states
We are the architects of the pain we seek.
