Food (I Just Had Some)
February 5, 2016
It’s an evening trip
When the day’s excitements
Are left behind
Up in the apartment
This need leaps out of the blue
From where I may never know
And the resolve of the day
Crumbles around me
Leaving me thinking
Why am I so yielding?
Why do motivational quotes
That had me celebrating life
After dessert last night
Mean nothing now?
Why must inspiration itself
The thrill of being alive
Come from something
So menacingly tangible?
Inspiration to rise up
To be something better
To be myself
Or rather to dream about the day when I can

To not document my pain would be a great disservice to myself. Thank you.
