Weary—I am weary
from all the effort I've
given that bore no fruitBleary—the world is bleary
because of all the chances
I was given but I never tookShame and guilt both play
in the ground I laid
for them in my head
I've spent years trying to
outgrow these toys
but I ended up playing
with them insteadIt just doesn't stop
—the toil and the
flaring thoughts
that come with itIt just doesn't stop
—all the shifting dunes
and the repeated words
nobody asked for
but given freelySorry—I am sorry for
the way everything turned
out because of meGlory—I have no glory
because of the way I
have told my storyBeasts and witches
whose cackles are
conjured by my mind
I've spent years trying
to run but I ended up
joining them in bloodlust
and insanity despiteAll the heartache
the wishes uttered
but never fulfilledAll the days of fruitless
toil and the mockery
I receive because of itAll the days of languishing
spent hiding from the sun
as if it burns the sin in meAll of them
just doesn't stop
