Does anyone mind if I stop the ride?
I’m going nowhere and I just want off
away from expectations and abject failure
the weight of the world pushing on my shoulders
and I don’t know how long I can push back
without breaking
everything that glitters
turns to ash and dust when I touch it
everything I try to hold onto
slips through my fingers and flies away
everything I work for
falls apart when I almost get it
I’m not entirely sure why I still try
and I just desperately need to rest
so please just let me lie here
in whatever shape you find me
my demons have won
so let them have their fun
