update

past months it's been hard
to put pencil to paper

(much less cursor to screen)

sometimes the pressure
makes silent screams
happen

and i used to be able
to let it out in words
and syllables

but the world makes me
weary now

and all i seem to do is
scroll and scan

snort and smile
snot and cry

live and let live

does this mean i'm
getting wiser to the
game?

or does it mean the
insane has run off

to other places?

step by step i
climb up to
the fresh air

but the desert sand
hazes the way

blinding and numbing
all i see and feel

nothing's real
anymore
