• Yeah, it Hurts, I’ll get Over it, Again

  low ebb comes, again my sword, shield against dragging hurt, out of reach comes cyclical thoughts not good enough, not good enough not good enough, not good enough not good enough, not good enough till comes a realization, late, so always late like a dish accidentally pushed to the floor you think, “why didn’t I […]
