Splinters

Splinters Shards of hard words in my soul Are piercing in me a big black hole I'm bleeding out the chemicals Digging deep through the ground I've been trying too hard to make a mark The shore was washed away again I think I'm losing all my patience now I've given all my best somehow But I can't carry on now, Not anymore The epiphany has struck me And the longanimity has departed me I'm no longer a part of this conundrum No wonder the placebo didn't work I was aware I was being tricked Jokes on you I'm done listening The splinter's hurting And I'm running out of sanity Let me rest now
