why yes, i'm a mess
in case you haven't guessed
showing no more
claiming no less
the thoughts that i carry
inside this cranium
attest to the fact
that's who i am
from my very first breath
being born into it
it should be said
it's a personal quest
one foot on the right
one on the left
in this do or die
placing of bets
if it stops on the black
or even the red
can't escape the fact
that yes i'm a mess
