Painted In Obvious Requirement

painted in obvious requirement
i once again become my own eraser
now here i am in the dry deluge of my own wilted tears
knowing that this one is different
i tap the shoulder of inevitable change and tell her that i am officially calling it a day

painted in obvious requirement
i once again become my own set of handcuffs
trapped as usual in the monotonous timidity of my own isolationist self
realizing that this time is indeed final
i tap the shoulder of inevitable change and tell her that i am officially throwing in the towel

painted in obvious requirement
i once again become my own end result of loneliness
bewildered and unseen....locked away in my makeshift purgatory
accepting the return of a fate whose persistence i put on the backburner
i tap the shoulder of inevitable change and tell her that i am going nowhere and am forever here to stay
