self-defeating vigilance

i must watch out
for beginnings of doubt
creeping in and fucking up,
hiding out behind the clouds,
trying not to rain so loud,
little round white pick-me-ups
that stop me crashing out so soon
and the revolutions of my room
spinning anti-clockwise 'til
my pain is slowly aspirin-killed
along with all the other way,
all the good parts of my day
and what i know i'll always stay,
separated by my head's breadth
that's all this love and all this death,
burdened with my empty words
which stop me seeing what is true
and soften with a song or two
the impact of that conscious doubt
for which i know i must watch out
