The Broken Machinery

I’ve tried to unpick

what made me like this

only to accept that it

doesn’t even matter,

that sometimes it’s all

just beside the point.

Only survivors care

about responsibility

and it should be accepted

that there are different

levels of survival.

Some things won’t

be patched with a payout

and there are things

for which apologies

aren’t enough to even

thread the fkn needle.
