~Necessary~

you don't
want to
be tired
on your
way to
somewhere trust
me

like an
anchor like a
dream I
feel stranded
in suspension
has has
made a
chaotic mess
out of me

it's a
beautiful relief
of clarity
I sleep
weaving in
and out
of focus

in a
sweet edge
of a
tragedy
I tried
ti change
I did

just breathe
it's not
nearly as
bad as I think

life is
full of
necessary regrets
you have
to skirt
past

say what
needs to
be said
then was
it away
I won't be
another band aid
idea can't mask
doesn't help
anything
