Overindulgence Will Forever Remain the Key to Enlightenment (Life)
Brett St. Pierre
I start to pray for the drip
So I can see the truth
As I tip back my head and cry.
Lately it's been taking far too long
For me to save myself from finally swallowing
This potential lie that I see strewn across the daily news-
That I am the manifestation of someone else's martyrdom.
Waiting, I write perseverance between the lines with my final fading virtue
Until I can ultimately open my eyes and begin to taste
The fact that it'll all be over all too soon,
But as long as I just keep my faith
And continue to dig out my soul with this tiny silver spoon-
I don't have to belong to anybody.
