Can I ask you
ten thousand questions
with just a few words
and hope for an answer
that'll make some sense?

I don't know where I'm going,
that's okay,
that's alright.

[It always was, wasn't it?
It never mattered
to you (me)
where I went].

I'm drowning.

Does that matter anymore?

I've forgotten the need
for oxygen,
I've forgotten how
to breathe and how
to swim and how
to live.

I only know how
to die and
to sink and
to fall.

But when has that ever been enough?

I'm still alive;
somehow
I've managed
to remember
how to contradict.

It's kind of laughable,
it's kind of sad.

Isn't it?
Isn't it?

This one blew up in my face. It started out as prose and then I sort of forgot how to speak.

Critique it as hard as you can?

I like this, I mean it is so... real. Very good, leave it as is, you mess with it, it will change its awesomeness.
