Cryptic the meaning,
lost in the circus of words and phrases
Changing as frequently,
and wildly as the moon's phases
Electric with worry,
it's high tide in my busy mind
With so many thoughts, feelings
and no pause or rewind
Navigating through
a world full of whole ass assholes
Oft' one of them,
as anxiety and weakness take their tolls
That bandage isn't big enough,
to cover the damage
The vices aren't the solution,
temporary asswage.

Thanks for reading!

As ever, I appreciate all interactions! Thank you again!
