The cup is full
liquid steady
as I ready my psyche for what’s about to go down
it’s about to go down
I am turning around
this emotion of despair
and gonna just get through it
that’s how you do it
you move the mountain if it is too high
to climb
so my approach
is to gulp down
720 ml of release
and speak frustration into the page
opening up the cage
trying to bar me in
cage
you will not win
i seep out of boxes like you
society’s fool
I am not
but I guess one more shot
to ease the mental anguish
freely flowing
knowing
there is so much shyt to do
but it’s kool
because despite where I am now
I will get through it somehow
I always come out of the situation
scathed or unscathed
is not necessarily the craving
being done is
saying i won is
yet i am sitting here
spilling my cares
sipping my liquor
figuratively bitter
with my current tasking
i am asking myself to be realistic
to not go ballistic
I can do this
This is nothing
compared to the oceans I swam
the valleys I ran
this
this is nothing
and I am something
so i am already ahead of the game
what a shame
I do not feel that way
I just want to stay
right here
in the midst of my fears
sip on this beer
wait
let me be clear
it’s wine
i am whining
because I do not want to face the fact
that it is time to go back
and truly figure out the solution
the real conclusion
to this great American race
I am chasing
the end
trying to win
while looking at the cup laced in sin
regretting
my reflection
showing back at me in the deep blood red liquid
forget it
you aren’t ready for that confession
