An attempt at life
Something it has to offer
Meaning in the shallow crevis
Where you hide your secrets
Nothing you acknowledge
Nothing but your life
Is it everything or nothing
Is it the pain in the pit of your gut
Or the bitter sweet sound of it crashing down
And the strength to build it up
The smile on a devious grin
The drugs in your back pocket
Mistakes made up of scratches
Mistakes made up of chance
The contradiction is the question
The answer far too deep
Human concepts of why we breathe
As scientists make up the matter
A higher power made of money
A lower power made of truth
The hand that soothes your back
The sex that soothes the touch
Overwelming overpowerment
One time after too much
The looking glass foretells
Something you cannot see
Shallow inner comfort
The kind that makes you cry
The babies you continue to ruin
With each of your hidden cuts
The pains you know nothing of
The pain that feels to much
Tears drip down like acid rain
I turn them into rose petals
