Now bare with me,
as I struggle to bare with myself.
And these fragment ideas that I spend all my time trying to put into words,
but to no avail.
Forgotten beloved.
Some malpracticed semblance of hate.
I've never felt more alive than when I'm seeing through bloodshot eyes.
Change my design, built to fail.
I woke up dead again today
Screaming, but nothing.
We've come to accept what we know as abandon.
Ignoring the gleam in ones' eye.
Change my design, built to fail.
If I open myself up will you see something worthwhile?
Or a mess of a child masquerading as a man?
