write-off

pull me out of this nightmare
i'm stuck here and drowning
no way out, i'm played out
pinned down without warning
resistance is futile
this last mile might kill me
i'm filthy and borrowed
you got off but
i'm guilty
of seeing this lie you called truth
in my mind
choke on my own words that
i just can't make rhyme
time won't heal, i can't deal
with these wounds i've been nursing
curse it and throw down
rehearse the whole damn thing
sing til i sound tight
smile and i just might
laugh til it looks right
and then write you off.
