no healthy upstream

 I tried to say it, yet again

Crumbled up the paper before I even wrote the words

None of it matters anymore, if it ever even did. 

I can say the same thing in a thousand languages

but I can't make it make sense. 


If I was a kinder man

If I could still a shaky hand

If there was promise left inside

If it wasn't infected with rot


I don't know why it fixates me so

There's nothing but phantoms in my reflection

When did my focus become so distorted?

How long before my eyes fully adjust? 


My insides are twisted

I'm being held up with wire

My animation is not my intent

Who's calling the shots here?
