Aware of Goodbye

Defeated, hopeless, helpless. A slow sinking of the heart. Overwhelmed. Drowning. The brain has reflexes. Plugging. Toning. Must find a balance. Right, wrong, whatever. Masquerade, parade, celebrate illusions. Conspiracy, hypocrites sewn into innate intelligence. Regrets, cigarettes, beer save a life by giving a dollar. Useless, nonsense, crazy. Inspiration meets shadow. Smile, cry, frown get on medication. Numb, hollow, void welcome to normalcy. Smell, touch, see perceive unconditional love. Rejection, imperfection nail it to your mind. Not your fault. Not your fault. Not your fault. Crooked face, sweet smile blank mind, dishonorable. Apostrophe not needed. Mission accomplished.
