NO FORTITUDE


please try to treat my heart mercifully
this malaise is producing bitter sweat beads
my shadow ambled up to me
with a pencil and a piece of paper
i burst out with words but
words won't get me out of this hole

i've no fortitude
my laughter withdrew
i attempt to scrape your fingerprints
off my skin

please don't be truthful if
truth will harm
just tell me that next time
my heart will be wise
my emotions are distorted
my hands are breaking everything
in sight

i've no fortitude
my laughter withdrew
i attempt to scrape your fingerprints
off my skin
