Handoff

built a fortress inside myself

went inside to hide myself

couldn't be by myself

never beside myself

needed to rely on myself

no help from someone else

in need of no one else

to tip the scale

the heaviest one

the one who fell off

into something else

a fat fact is

a skinny truth

from a tall tale to a

small lie

tator tots

french fries

hash browns

apple pie

long view

short eyes

piano keys

unlocking inner need

collecting thoughts

inside my heart
