i am trying to solve this i promise
desire is a
thing with which
i cannot
be trusted
the nearly
impossible
is the most
important if i
believe
it to be
god, i am so pure
in my endless
fascination with ghosts
& the act
of believing
i’m a person
can’t see
though this
but why not
keep trying
forever
no such
thing
as fragility
anyway
i can’t
believe
i’m not
better
yes i can
yes i can
yes i can
