Why won't it stop? Just for a minute... so I can take a breath or maybe a nap a minute just to relax to not think about anything... not to think about the ensuing chaos or that I've had enough just one minute to not feel sick and tired... of being sick and tired just one minute when it's okay that I don't know what to do just one minute when I don't have to fight or struggle to not be destroyed just one minute to not succumb to the on-going ass-whoopin' on my psyche just one minute to connect... and disconnect just one minute to not do anymore just one minute...
Just for a minute...
so I can take a breath
or maybe a nap
a minute just to relax
to not think
about anything...
not to think about the ensuing chaos
or that I've had enough
just one minute
to not feel sick and tired...
of being sick and tired
just one minute
when it's okay that
I don't know what to do
just one minute
when I don't have to fight
or struggle to not be destroyed
just one minute
to not succumb to the
on-going ass-whoopin' on my psyche
just one minute
to connect... and disconnect
just one minute
to not do anymore
just one minute...
