prepare for battle.
cushion the blow
you know what you want
but you really cant show.

there was once
when you were full
red and bright
instead of grey and dull

but youre showing some color
youve gained some life
done stealing blood
from you with this knife

theres not much space
youve left for me
a compact spot
with a huge SUV.

lets not go down
the same wrong turn
i want to try
i want to learn.
