Just another bullet in the shower
just another malicious jab in the jugular
shrug, its just another one of those kicks in the teeth
more feet kicking the ladder from under you
your mind strives to stretch just to wrap around
as a strained web of thoughts continue to dislocate
its clear, how its all just a devious game to her
sad, but you've never been more fucking serious
so sick of playing the role of the fool
nauseated by the putrid naivete that spins in you
every time you think you got something nailed down
you find the ground is just a cloud
atop of which you've been hovering
don't panic and squirm in the quicksand
just think happy thoughts like Peter Pan
defy gravity, fly to sew that shadow back on
look behind, see not defeat but another
harsh lesson learned.
