snapping twigs beneath my feet
the crunch of leaves is deafening
and the trees will wave to me
and i’ll wave back with glee
even though i’ve made my peace with it
it still fucking hurts
and i’ve learned
this crippling behavior I’m drowning in failure
i’m searching for an answer i’m hopeless i know this
in solace breaths progress
not throwing in the towel i’m focused to move past this
simple dictation manifesting anxious habits i’m neglecting every single need
now i’m crying in the target parking lot
i’m howling but I can barely make a sound
there’s only so much wasting why can’t you just listen
my chemicals are backwards
i’m worried i’m not worthy
i’m trying but I’m slipping
and i may need some more help than i wanted.
Is this “shoegaze” reflected in a funhouse mirror? 90’s rock as remembered by people born after 9/11? The results cannot be argued with. Less filling, tastes great. pat dry
