you bound me in despair
to your will and body bare
I decided that's all that
happiness was
the choir is singing hallelujah, now.
my best isn't much but there's sweat on my brow. everything went wrong, everything goes wrong.
I'm in an irrational routine with these things. I write and sing and drive and act out of turn.
but there's something right about now
I like the sleepless nights
I feel free and alive
It's sweeter than bright
brighter than sweet
I feel I have a purpose
I feel in control of those
Opposing forces
the one guiding the wheel
the one gripping the pen,
covered in ink and dirt
I embrace it with whatever
parts of me I can muster
I become a different person
but this nirvana will end soon
there are other people I am
required to be at times, and
that time is now upon me
it all could be so easy and
I think it's becoming easier

some sort of revelation
I need to stop writing and driving
