errant
A single vision Myopic and brittle When pressed I always cave It’s the least I can do When given attention I have bludgeoned my sanity Into a catatonic stare I am afraid of how little I believe That anything I've done is worth more than a passing glance And a sneer of derision before being forgotten I am committed to digging my own grave By walking away If I survive the fire I’ll live in the wreckage and ash No resurrection I am not a phoenix No resurrection I am an insect

It isn’t time yet The path extends along There has been empty suffering There has been too much stillness I have fallen into every trap you set Some while I was stepping back There is never grace in the ways I react And crumble If there is a method to hide how deeply I have failed I’ve yet to learn it If there is merit found in my presence here It is a secret that will die after me All of this silence Lends a voice to the darkest thoughts in my head My tired aching mind Can muster awful threats Through the panic and crippling static I look for hope in poison and in sleep I am grateful for the fleeting moments Where I don't feel anything I am a sunk cost without fallacy My best endeavors are doomed to fail Inherently

Tear me up in your jaws Thrash til you hear the snap I have felt like prey in every second All that I am is a quaking mass Of desperate, painful, energy I can't stand this slow death And the stench of everything rot Festering anxiety Spend waking hours waiting for sleep In my dreams I clench my teeth And they shatter into pieces This is just a sad and errant effort To distract me To buy time I am nothing I am only wounded Vicious and inept
