Hopelessness

How did I become

The mother of this son?

The face and mind

And hands of virulence?I, who curled in cave and moss

I, who gathered wood for fire

And tenderly embraced

How did I become a virus?Hopelessness

I feel the hopelessness

I don't care about me

I feel the animals and the trees

They got nowhere to goI don't care much about you

I don't give a shit what happens to you

Now we blew it all awayHopelessness

I feel the hopelessnessHow did I become a virus?

I've been taking more than I deserve

Leaving nothing in reserve

Digging till the bank runs dry

I've been living a lie
