hemorrhaging envelops more than just my brain.

the fury of the ache becomes my compass.

and as i cruise along down south on the bridge,

the winds in the air aren’t putting a stumble on my bones but the gusts in my mind are.

ill be walking on the edge of a cliff in my brain.

and because of that, i’ll second guess if i should get something at target.

ill second guess if i should eat the meat in a mcdonalds sandwich.

and god help my brain–

maybe ill second guess wasting my time on a computer screen watching “The Top 10 Scariest

Moments Caught on Live Video”.
