In Pieces

No matter how much

I say that

I have learned life's lessons, the only way to know life's lessons is when it smacks you right in the face.

Rubberband stretched to the limit, but still

I cannot help but pull it just a little bit more.

Once again my whole world crumbles, walls cave in, and

I fall backwards, everything

I know taken out at the knee.

Hands stuffed deep into my mouth to keep from choking on the words that show how much

I know 'bout knowing nothing, nothing at all.

I know that these days will have an end, just like

I know that

I'll be back again.

This place is awful, but it's familiar.
