“shhhh ole wade”
we all know where to find a box of tissues
and I've been old enough to wear a crown
days run together like the alarms i snooze
missed calls from my family on the other side of town
i choke
when they come around
asking about better times
that I've forgotten all about
because i felt that “weird bubbly hysteria”
climbing up my spine
dissociated too far from reality
reached out one too many times
when i was trying my best but
still beat and broken down
started having fun with my nose
plunging my head through the crown
a little warrior led astray
no traction and seat-belt undone
sped through every stop sign i saw
disintegrated as i lost the sun
but i’m beginning to see daylight
and i finally cleaned by room
haven’t opened a new box of tissues in a while
took off the crown that chased my doom
returned from hell with wings before
holding on for ole wade
i’ll silently piece this puzzle back together
so i can live another day
t.t//shush ole wade
