otherwise you’d still be alive today
I thought I had something
but when I looked back
nothing was there
how do you keep yourself
together
when we all know
what happens in the end
the story can be anything
you want it to be
as long as you’re open
to interpretation
building confidence
is the hardest part
it takes time & patience
rare traits for brilliant minds
now trust is another matter
altogether
you never should have
told me your plan
otherwise you’d still
be alive today
maybe
may two thousand twenty-two
