BREAK

I catch my reflection
in the bottom of my coffee cup.
Yup, I'm fucked.
Eyes of sugar and caffeine
staring back at me.
What do they mean?
What did you mean
to be by now?
Only God knows how
you made it this far.
Through bars and cars
and what is the point
suicides and land slides
The endless why why whys
pins and needles
continue to infect
the reject
to project and spread
the never ending dread
a wallflower's longing
for a dance of the dead
party hats and fancy gowns
thrown on the ground
as a foot path laid
to the bed that you made
wishing it was a cradle
you curl
into a ball
pretend you are small
and try hard to dream
of fairies and kings
in a land of beauty and grace
to wake up to face
you're not small at all
but big and fumbling along
a long road of whys
in a kitchen of spies
as you fill up your cup again.
