little by little
as it turns out we came here to suffer
or rather seek tranquility & forgiveness
learning each day to stay alive step by step
bit by bit pieces of ourselves leave us
physical or mental it matters not
you give them names as they drift away
how many times have I lost my way
only for you to rattle me back to life
back to that once vaguely familiar place
april two thousand twenty-one
