i don’t know
how much more i can stand.
i walk these streets
and i pretend
to know where i’m going
but i’m lost in the lights
all the buildings look the same
these filthy alleyways
screaming out my name.
i just want to rest
a night of nothing
the dark to take me away
i think it’d be best
to lay my head down
in the ragged cardboard box
that has become my life.
