what you felt
what you saw
you can’t explain it
you’ve tried it all
it’s not supposed to be easy
you really think you’re so fucking smart
c’mon then and face me now in the darkness
and tell me how it’s all put together, hot shot
“we’ll really put you through it,” she said
“but nothing else is useful here”
in your fear, they say it helps to close your eyes
and disappear
turn on
tune in
drop out and get lost
breathe deep
exhale
you’ll get just what you asked for
you’d better fuckin humble yourself
or prepare to be humbled
your mistake wasn’t starting the path,
but not going all the way through
“we’ll really put you through it,” she said
“but nothing else is useful here”
in your fear, they say it helps to close your eyes
and disappear
off and on
infinite between
“climb,” you said
and you feel
