Anything Everything
I don’t want to do everything
but I’d kill to do anything
anything other than sitting with words
anything other than breathing
which hurts
But theres nothing to do
and nothing to say
So I sit with the empty
as it swallows me
I watch as the numbness
Takes it’s assigned seat
It stares me in the eyes
doesn’t move
and I follow it’s lead
which to me
is nothing new
and all of these words
hold little weight
when all of me
has floated away
So I watch from above
as I write all this down
I try to pull myself back
only to find I’m locked out
