adds up

 a mathematical casualty

born amid the multiplying fears

that spring off my decisions

a fools' errant is contagious

preordained is a matter that layouts beautifully

just as sure as the sundown making up the soul

the very composition of the shattered dreams I chased down

memory lane, display the faces I blur out, sustain the division of changing

one individual amongst the crowd, my voice had to harp away, gagged up

barely.

adds up that I left before they got given the chance

if I ever so meant so much to them, I am now what can be heard

an echo of can, do, better now attitude and a polished set of shoes marching

under that sundown, that we presently share the same sky sickens me. 

the hate has come to mellow and yet my disease mutates just the same


the starting point split through the root

a moment to trust, uphold the truth 

my sense of love has humor 

the starting point chopped by high heavens

fixated by acceptance, amen.


I do not know this people that well

been cruising by the good times

blurry memories shine brighter

when we praise loved ones on their birthday?

as my silence echoes in my chambers,

the mind hemorrhages amid coping, hoping

the fading breaths of yesterday were a mistake

in what a torn state does sleep birth us

miles away, accepting humanity bonds

and they too do feel at times this weight, 

the very same name.
