What do I do?
So…
I ran out of weed 3 days ago
and I’m going through, what I can only imagine
are with-drawl symptoms.
What do I do?
about this hunger for righteousness
that tells me I must mutilate myself
on stage, in front of everyone.
Just for people to listen.
What do I do?

Bark and Bare
a lone tree, hollowed and rotted through.
the wind blows, the senses dulled.

The joy in my life slips from my grasp
Shot after shot
Numb to my emotions and logic
I’ll double down on my agony
Burn bridges half built and cut poorly tied ties
All in the name of self-improvement
Something that never comes and never will
Why would I let myself grow
