Lament

It’s early so I’m feeling vulnerable

So do what you will

For the sake of you I’m poised

With what I understand is joy

Shouldered cries from everywhere

I expect no different

You’d think by now I’d know my place

But I lose it almost every day

You’d think by now I’d have a grip

But again I’ve let it slip

If I’m out on a limb admiring something

It may crack in two, I feel nothing

Not the question preceding, or how I’m feeling

But I’ve carried the world today, I have convinced myself

I drank from the deepest pond

When the ocean did me wrong

Now I’m left with what I’ve known all along

So I lament

Then I forget

So I lament

Till I reset

You’d think by now I’d know my place

But I lose it almost every day

You’d think by now I’d have a grip

But again I’ve let it, I’ve let it slip

So I lament

Then I forget

So I lament

Till I reset
