failing

 

better men than I      have dissolved in liquid night     while others have leaped to their deaths    because their buildings were on fire      my best friend choked on pills     he was trying to blot out the sun       he wasn’t broken      he had no dark and terrible secrets        he just got careless one day      and that’s all it takes        for an accidental murder      just cop a few pills      washed down with hard liquor

this is a world of actors      a theatre of distractions       one day I went off script      people called me crazy       maybe I was crazy       perhaps you have to be crazy      to survive in this world      I rehearsed my death        though my heart wasn’t in it        but I still got the scars      that betray my intentions      I tried to escape     and I failed at failing      what that says about me      I’m in no place to tell
