lingers around the question to
struggle with the overwhelming,
nothing seems to contain the sense
the strength
the answer.

because of all the questions
right now only one matters,
it's the difference between living & existing.

i never knew how to read the crystal ball,
always played the tarot cards like a round of poker,
i've mapped the stars a hundred times before
yet it didn't change a thing.
i don't listen
& i still lose
fate abandons those who fail to see
the truth above the delusion, it's plain
she doesn't read the hand of those
who brush her hands away.

the biggest mistake
to make me know
my heart is on
a leash.
