Squatting rent free inside the mind

Heart palpitations 
Over social reservations 
Dependence on ties that we bi...

Just when it looks like

I'm making progress,

  I fumble

an hour and             start to         sp  lit 

                                                   (just like that)

and the other                                half

turns pretty                                      ugly

very fast. 

Then it's me vs.                          me

all weekend.
