battered, bruised
broken
distraught, anguished
disillusioned
grabbing onto something
that just isn't there
don't you know that?
can't you stop yourself?
give up
please
save whatever pride you have left
and move on
to greener pastures
brighter days
well lit bar rooms
anything but what you're doing
quit imploring to be noticed
crying...
...that's for babies
ball up
man up
and go get yourself a real woman
for christ's sake!
not intended for any one individual
just something that's been brewing in me
waiting for my fingers to set it free
