"Minimalize"

Stretch the canvas
So you can sew your deed
Grit your teeth so you can prove
You don't feel anything
Express this pain in your knees
It is this feeling you need to remember
It is you and you alone who doth
Destroy the world's beauty
Never mind what your heart meant
Never mind what your eyes tried to plead
That is not what got across, my enemy
My own tongue has forsaken me
You turn God into the Devil
Because that is the only thing you know how to do
I have been judged most harshly
I cannot remember ever
Feeling so alone in my life
I cannot remember ever
Fighting so hard not to cry
Of course every low seems lower
Then I manage to laugh about it
Learned to minimalize my struggles
A long time ago
