These past few days have been quite the strain Lucky to endure it without doing a Scott Pilgrimesque shave of the mane I don't cope with loss or change very well Especially when I'm plagued with the thoughts of someone going to hell Not that this is taking a religious direction Growing up with christian brain washing gives me that inflection Made it through this without one shred Promise you my life is much better without any meds Blaming myself for not going in the night is not the best Blaming others for not taking my mother to surgery won't bring me any rest Gravity is the only thing that can heal and **** me Dragging the sand down on me until I'm buried like she A hug from the hands of the clock are all I need Because pretty soon it will be time to sow seed The tide carries on even if you are at the bottom of the deep blue Whether or not you learn to surf, is up to you.
