I'm timing my haircuts
Around breakups
Self inflicted
Emotional Hiccups
Be it a fuckup
A loved one
Be it my fault
What I've done
I'm starting myself a new
The only way I know how to
A visceral emotional purging
Or just a painful manifestation
A latent insecurity surging
An emptying of mind and feeling
Hitting my maturation ceiling
I''ll change my look
I'll change how I see
I'll change so hard
I'll barely be me
I'll work on the edifice
What's easier to do
Easier than getting past, over, or beyond
You
Lost weight
Faux swagger
An ignored fragility
I'll keep moving faster
Pretending I have something to offer
Not an emotional pauper
Not a shell of a self impressed former self
Pursuing the illusion of fine over health
And ignored pain
And skipped over tears
Circumnavigated discomfort
As I've done for years
I'll busy myself
With things that don't matter
Treating myself
As moldable matter
That's lacking a center
That's lacking a core
A soulless self center
That will always need more
Just furthering along a me
That I no longer need to be
