Dirt.
It's been pretty dark lately
What can I say?
I always return to those familiar words despite the newness of this day.
I was hoping for a little more sunshine, perhaps a little more joy.
But that wasn't on the menu — No
It was much more profound and forborne.
It seems I've been under a spell that I am unsure who cast.
No more whimsy for me.
No. It's just a good old mental collapse.
As I slowly dredge through the mud that is on my plate.
I begin to beg, and I start to forsake my own identity because what fun am I?
I am just a little no one
Uncomfortable
As I try to find a safe place to hide.
Despite the tragedy that I now call my life.
I know deep down there is more, but I am comfortable with the lies.
The lies I tell myself again and again.
That I am not worthy because of my long list of sins.
But I begrudge myself the opportunity to smile.
Just let me be.
While I stew in my own shit for a while
