open a vent

confounded head, quit with all this rattling
the moments I waste on sorting these events
only make me weaker and more attached;
less able to ever grasp resolution

the reality of all I ponder is more sad, more factual
than I can ever get out from beneath
yet, I enjoy soaking and marinating in the mire,
already knowing the unfortunate outcome

so, just stop.

stop internalizing each and every fucking phrase
stop hoping that any of it means more than is does
stop waiting on line until your charms have been noticed
just stop.
