Messy Reality

Complaining lives

No lack of troubles

Guilty as charged

Watching though

The walk through

The white strip

Bright smiles of a

Sudden photo-op

Since we all now

Have personal

Paparazzi

Life is ugly & dark

Fear based bullshit

As we push passed

Moments that matter

To get to the moments

That sparkle & flash

Which never will amount

To more that a side show

Of loathing & dissatisfaction

Comparisons & despair

We

Are

Diseased

But we don't want to be

We are kind

We've known clarity

We've fallen on our asses

We've helped someone up

We are not the antibacterial

SPF 50 perfume we wear

There's bloody

Heart crushing

Bone splintering

Anguish

Not just for you

We all need to wash

In abrasive acceptance

Or a bitter hush

Releasing our toxic plague

Turning iron in our veins

Into over medicated rust

This messy

Dirty

Ugly

Life

When what we need to love

Is to embrace

Our historically beautiful

Pile of clutter

Which makes up a beautiful

Mountain of "Us"
