Medication

A Poem by gravitylava

I had a thing to say but forgiveness took hold

Didn’t get a chance, didn’t give a f**k

a part of me pointed at you but I know you don’t know the way

I’m just an edgeless cliff

I’m just an edgeless cliff

Your ultimatums make the most sense of all my riddles and rhymes

If I wanted sense I’d check under the couch cushions

If I wanted sense I’d buy a pack of cigarettes and see what I got in return

Don’t make another message turn to mess

Don’t make my machine a machination

We can’t turn dirt to wine but we can grow dandelions just fine

We can’t make dirt deserve worth but we can rub it off our faces

I’m just an edgeless cliff

I’m just an edgeless cliff

This is the part of me that sees through almost everything

This is the part of me that turned my friends to strangers

This is the part of me that’s trying to be likeable

This is the part of me that I like best when I am drunk

This is the part of me that sleeps all day to avoid dentists and republicans

This is the part of me that learned what earwigs really look like

This is the part of me that thinks earwigs are astronomers

This is the part of me that loves my mother

She grows nauseous while I drive and I know she’s tired because so am I

I loved her more when I was sober and she wasn’t so small

THIS IS THE PART OF ME THAT BELIEVES IN FAITH
