[I don't write poetry, so fuck you if this sucks. 
Do you have the guts to share everything?]

I wake up with resolve
This day, of all days,
I will keep my mouth shut
Let life take its course without
My intervention

I walk on with chin trembling
Wanting to bury within coat and cassette
Hide the burning vulnerabilities
That gleam like neon
Press here

I sought your emails
Your letters and string wrapped packages
Because the burn throbbed in tandem
Or so I thought, until
Time to up the ante

I listen to Elliott Smith
And manage the friendships and love lives
Of the functioning automatons around me
Whose lives I cherish
But can not emulate

I close the thought
Snap the lid shut and shutter my eyes
Sipping alone as the day slides away
Only stopping once
To regret what I wasted
