To be candid...

I want to write a poem
That doesn’t sink the soul

But it’s what I know.

Sometimes I'm Scum….
I need this
Murky self-reflection
Self-deprecation
Because I don’t
Have a clue how to
Climb out from here
And if I did
I don’t know where I’d go.

But I don’t really want to
Keep thinking about
All the ways I’m broken
Or how to re-assemble
These pieces that really have
Never really been together

There are a thousand truths
That are unbearable.
And right now
I’ll just sit here
In this puddle of mud
And wait for the end to come.
