slippery sloping


never underestimate what you can do
when you don't believe in yourself

i understand my worst enemy is myself
but still i stand here, hands tied
bruised and battered
but ready for the punches, yet again

their ripples are touching you, aren't they?
or at least, they're coming soon
get up, dry off, leave this place

no. but don't leave me.
is it selfish to ask you to embrace them?
