My hands get needy
when my thoughts get graspy
and I ponder for a second
about a wary predicament
Funny how your biggest
adversary is always yourself
but not funnier than being
yourself and lying the thickest
My racing brainwaves go in
patterns and thoughts to circles
and I wonder negatively again
about self-pain incurred
Speaking up does just as much
as quietly revolving does
both for deflecting and
earning good and bad was
