THE UGLY TRUTH

too soon to tell
too long to learn
we crawl towards answers
hidden under the bedroom door
waiting, lingering, ready to ruin

listen
hold
inhale
ex-
out your bad ideas
don't fuck yourself
don't find yourself

bleeding from poor decisions
sink them in,
with the remnants of last night's affair
swim to the surface
fight to capture fresh air

we live life happy
carefree, that's fine

but do we live life fully?
or are we all
wasting too much time.
