myself and my rage
a long cool glass of milk
and a chili pepper
and i don't know how to toe this line
only the air holds me in
nature abhors my shape
the pressure the only thing
keeping me together
and i can't keep holding my breath
i fight to stay alive
i try to keep on
going and going and going and gone
i won't be here much longer
no song says everything
that i need it to say
no book will hold the feelings
i carry inside
and i can't just write it all
i'm in a space between
myself and me
and i don't even know who i am.
