Crossing to The Other Side

the ghost in me

hides in you too

we pass the days holed up in our spaces, looking at the familiar faces

on screens they act, they type,

they talk through speakers

loud enough to drown the thoughts

we have to hear in darkness when

everything isn’t

so clear, the sky they say will be

soon I hope I can get over this

 

the piles lay

untouched in the laundry and the sink and every single time

I blink away the motivation like it will get done

tomorrow is another day but why not

why not today?

time is always ticking

faster I see the days go by

without accomplishing anything of any

significance, can’t you see the significance in the way you’re wasting away from here and into

the void that is tomorrow, it’s next week, it’s next month,

it’s not important

keep telling yourself

I need to be better

When is better?
