I’ve never been a one to constrict, just afflict
I’ve never seen the drug deter the addict
Unraveling string after string of logic,
Entangled it’s hard to gesture myself as honest.
Modest, hardly that’s hard to claim
I feel like this is a beast I just can’t tame
Shamed and unsuitable, gripping and irrefutable
Like two magnets clawing at the grit beneath their feet
Being pulled towards this black hole of inevitable defeat
How can we be discreet about an emotional ticking time bomb?
Pretending we can have some control over how the war is won
Maybe I’m missing the whole point of this chapter
Maybe I’m too focused on what’s coming after
Open up this box and see what’s inside to analyze
And use what I choose to take it one day at a time.
