true desire
it took me a while
longer than it should’ve
to know what I
was searching for

it took me a decade
and a few years plus
to figure out why
I keep on digging for more

it took me a moment
and then when it hit me
I felt I knew why
I couldn’t just slam that door

it took me a lifetime
but now I understand
there’s something wrong with
pretending past is forgotten lore

it took me a century
to recognize this hole
deep within my heart and soul
is mine to fill with what I’ve got in store

it’s took me a millennia
to finally acknowledge
that a goddamn apology
and the admittance of fuckery
is all that I am searching for
