no i’m not tired
i’ve just been here
for awhile
been waiting for
everything to come around

it’s not fair
the trouble you face
longer shadows
in your short days
coming down

don’t look now
there’s no point
in giving up
forcing your luck
on a broken fence

if there is a means
i’m sure
that you’ll succeed
in solving problems
you don’t need answers to

but don’t listen to me
be your own
ears and reasoning
never thought i was
helpful to the seeking

just count up
the fallen words
stretch out
follow through on
what you’ve come to believe
