Losing my mind
trying to figure out
how
I inherited so much doubt
what’s all this about?
born & raised
engrained
formed into days all staying the same
answering their calls
like lead through my veins
moving out the way
making myself small
the slave in me stands 1500 years tall
you tried your best
chiseled despair deep in my chest
well, I found a book
& wrote that letter on your desk
