Hyper-extended psyche
I begin to fade out into a pile of sordid shavings
Speckled and cracked, like paint peeling from a wall

Listless I fight the urge to concede
Like reeds in a riverbed run dry
I endure the turmoil
I hold my head high

What I don’t know is more important than what I do
What I do know, is that I forgive you
