Coward

Today 

Is a day

To marinate

In the exhaustion 

That has sucked me dry.

That has made me wonder

If I would ever get noticed.

If people would stop lying.

If my wishes were answered.

If I had been betrayed

If this world was just a myth.

If I really existed.

If I really needed to exist.

I mean,

It’s only one sharp edge,

One long enough fall,

One faster bullet,

One wrong step,

One extra pill,

One loop in a rope

Can mean everything

In a time of nothing.
