carved out
i'm bare to the green,
a wilted pulp beneath
spring's harsh frost
the doctor asks
are you sleeping well?
(as if the circles
beneath my eyes lie)
i'm fine, i'm fine
it's just these headaches
excuses, excuses
i deny anti-depressants,
opt for migraine pills instead
hope for the turn around,
hope to prove worthy
for all that i've never
measured up
full enough for.
