At my worst

I'm a way for some

to color my spirit

to a one dimention numb



at my worst

i'm a spur of the moment

for a separation of thoughts that hint



me at my worst

when I need an escape

from the race

from my mistakes

against the world



They're at their worst

when they use my escape

as a doorway to distraction

for their mistakes

We're at our worst

when we escape

and the world

becomes its worst

by us.
