Break the lead until you've hit the metal.
Is this art?
Is it a masterpiece, or a catastrophe?
What is happening? It's sickening, it's maddening.
The gestures are uplifting, they're flattering.
The shovel has stopped digging due to a new-found rocky surface.
Looking up, I see nothing, climbing has no purpose.
Is this a hole or a cage in a circus that doesn't travel?
Do I wait for the cement to turn to gravel?
Are these questions being answered with life lessons?
Can hopelessness be disguised as a blessing?

I left.
In the midst of all of the chaos, I left you behind. At your most vulnerable point, when you needed me the most, I packed my shit and I left. It was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. I wish I’d had more time to think about what to say in the short note I left, but I had no idea how long you’d be distracted on that work call.
