shed

Can you shed
the idiocy?
Shame and guilt
Pride and grief

Can you shed
the impurity?
Your latticework
of belief

To see things
for what they are
Not some idea
in your head

Can you shed
Can you shed
you
You
YoU
YOU

Peel away SELF
feel and laugh naked
Peel away SELF
touch and cry naked

Of course you can't
But if you don't try
You're fucking useless
