Between Time and Tears

Trapping perfection

Is a waste of my time

As I crouch in this damned chair,

And realize

That nothing good can come from this.

That my various insecurities

Created from the depths

Of the feeding frenzy

That has run red

Like a juggernaut

In my bleeding soul

Has become beautiful to me.

All those popular fallacies

That urge everyone

To achieve something beyond themselves

Really pisses me off.

Embrace your damaged self

For this is where

True art thrives

Between time and tears.
