Lost My Epiphany
By Withering petals
Subservient endeavors
Working until the end of never
I never
thought it would be this way
The same broken record that continues
to play
And as I pry myself away
From the pains of staying
awake
I wish for another ending
One not so full of pretending
The lies,
The lies,
They keep me
awake
Wondering just how much of this is fake-
And if
reality is no more,
Just another constructed whore,
Then I will
be its unwanted company –
They say ourselves we do construct,
But I would like to self-destruct –
How much of this is
really me,
And how much out there could there really be?
No,
Not for me,
Not for me,
Fuck
it, I’ve lost my epiphany.

This was going great until you pulled the plug. Perhaps you wandered too far afield and lost your way? Have faith and press onward! Thanks.
