Far Gone
i know what it is to be so far gone that you curl up
in the fetal position
thinking of
Him
i know about holding out
and holding on
and words don't help
rain is no good
when you've lived in the desert
since the dawn of time
here's a hint
nurture yourself
be your own rain
I don't claim
to know how
I'm just sayin'
no mirages, chica
take the heat
for what it's worth
and don't worry about
sunscreen
we're all
gonna
die
