Better by Matthew Brookshire

cheer

when no amount
of

adulation

matters anymore
and

you just put duct tape
on your wounds

(knowing they're
just one
scar

away from
pouring out your soul)

when you pray God
forgiveness

from heaping
all your

personal retribution

upon the world,
when you crawl back

to this mound of sorrows
(which is me) and
trip
on

the curb,
you won't even hear

the claps of praise
anymore,

because you would have the prize:
you

would have me.
