I no longer 
invest in the 
problems of others
I have found 
that it leads
to the mutiny 
of my very 
own ship of
which I was
kind enough to 
take them aboard 
out of the 
rough seas of 
their own device 
swim damnit swim

Just me
just now 
not before 
never again 
tick tock
says clock 
come closer 
I have 
a secret 
for you 
what do 
you think 
when this 
is all 

Sometimes it’s after 
that I do
and only then 
because before I 
couldn’t see maybe 
if I was 
an owl whose
head spins round 
I would’ve seen 
the knife coming 
towards my back 
thrown by myself 

Some days 
lazy days 
rainy days 
random days 
nothing no
one days
just days 
that say
no way

The thing 
we hope 
nobody notices 
is that 
very one 
thing that 
everyone does 
so be 
your weakness 
it is
what makes 
us vulnerable
