My Words

My Words

A Poem by Kieran James McGovern

Nothing’s killing me tonight, I’m sure

Idle time to endure

I am a vacuum, here is the last tune of the day

Yet I strive to stay awake

 

Best of broken notions rot within my head

Their collective essence evanesces

Purpose displaced by harrowing anger

Hateful grief

It consumes me

 

And I wear it on my face

All the ugly things I say

And the guilt to which I’m bound

I will bare everyday

They all say I’m too young

To be so cynical and numb

I know I’ll be okay

As I sit in the flames

 

A sea of options in which to sink or swim

A thousand horizons bright or dim

Sail out of port, f**k my cohorts, mutinous as I am

I don’t want to be

 

All of the roads have no signs here

I’ve got no breadcrumbs to drop

Just appreciation to show

My words

Speak louder than my actions

Still, you can't have them

You can't have them

Pretend this never happened

 

We hurt the ones we love the most

They know too much, they get too close

And when they only wish to help

Sometimes it makes want to yell

Whether wrong, whether right

I’ve got nothing left to fight

‘Cause nothing’s killing me tonight

Nothing’s killing me tonight
