Underdogs and Tidal Waves

Antidote?

And that detachment,
gone for days,
regaining my footing,
seizing the words right back.
I can see clearly now.

Shut it down.
Close it away.
In knowing that there's nothing to feel,
my words pull together,
my gaze brave.

And for the first time in awhile,
I remember that there's more to this.

There is more than the name-dropping, that self-obsession,
that feverish need to try to appear as something even more in the eyes of others.
I remember that I'll never play that fucking game.

This is the way back to shore,
without letting those songs rip me to shreds.
I'll pull the sails.
I won't crash upon the rocks.
Not any longer.
