I’m so very tired of broken dreams
helpless as they fall away into a million pieces
and I watch them break down with me
to sink into that nothing I know so well
I remember my only nightmare
wherein my teeth crumble inside my mouth
I spend the whole night spitting
broken bits into my hand like gravel
This time it’s my life that scares me so
my job, apartment, happiness and confidence
shattered into a million tiny pieces
with every other tooth in America’s Shit-eating grin.
