Fifty Percent (Or More)

By Tim Pozzi •
Tell me what you were hoping for?
Withdraw,
withhold the truth.
Something else I'd like to know... ?
Just where did we
stop keeping track of this progress?
Open book,
but the words are unread.
Treading water instead,
just to say a hateful word or two.
Just to battle through
the paradise we thought we'd built.
Reality has a tilt.
