i'm not really
afraid
of the question
is this as good
as it gets?
i've had a headache
for five years
what's five decades?
yes
i still get fed up
but i know
how to deal
with it.
no
what i'm really scared of
the question
that ties a knot in my stomach
is
is this
as bad
as it gets?
have i hit rock bottom yet?
or is there
still
more to come?
