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.
