untitled



sub par thats what you were-
until people placated you with words that rang false.
you lapped at that bowl, sucking down greedily,
gaining strength until your friends and family wilted away.

you awoke startled, only to lay fitfully.
stumbling to the bathroom
looking to the mirror by the meek rays of dawn
what can your eyes tell you now?

Raw and cryptic, with a smidgen of something Dylanesque!
