We can only accept what we think we deserve.

Before you wallow your way down a sad path, 

remember every dark circle like tree rings sinking 

into soft issues around optic nerves is 

hard earned 

and equally deserved 

like a sick manifestation of evil to take pride in. 

And the barbed wire pouring through every pore 

of your tongue and tickling your teeth 

is a constant reminder that you are only hurting yourself the more you speak. 

We're are all waiting for something.

Nerves so brittle your wrists crack and bristle 

and accentuate every wince your brain makes while 

you think yourself into angry coma of confusion consuming

Calling all cars to your hardware in need of repair
