too much.


                                                      it's gotten to be too much... 

one doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders to break them-
especially seeing that's impossible in every literal sense...physically.



this feeling that swims throughout the flowing blood of my veins-
is the same panic that used to land me in a twin bed at the ju...
those days are never far away...
same fear, panic, angst-
yet you grow older, more stubborn-
more aware of the system and it's often bureaucratic ways...


resentment has grown alongside you all these years...
it's something that started out small and barely noticed,
now it is a shadow that follows you visibly even in the pitch black of the late night.

it really has gotten to be too much.

                              heads shake.
                    embraces intended to make their ways- 
                             but they're a day too late.
                             

                                                         
                                                           morning arrives, with the news sitting on your front porch-
                                                           no name to remember, no date displayed: beginning-end.


                       heads shake.
                       

it's just too damn much...
