this has been a test
had any of this been real
I would not be alone
wearing nothing but a heavy mind
and a doubtful heart
hopelessly clinging to empty sentiment
and a soul melting smile
this has been a test
I wanted to take
but clearly couldn’t
instead I panicked , struggled, and questioned
because I needed a reason
to believe I possess more
than an armful of baggage and fifty extra pounds
this has been a test
and I’ve failed
because I took it seriously
bet too much of me
knowing it’s a game only angels play
but one only demons can win
neither salvation
nor damnation
this mundane purgatory of uncertainty
no directions
no instructions
no information
just white noise and bright colours confusing my reality
stay calm, carry on
this has been a test
