THIS IS WHEN IT MATTERS.
These are the moments you can count on your Left Hand....
Times that you didn't know.
You're lost
You're alone.
You never seemed to care though.
WHY?
Because your heart is still beating.
Your blood is still pumping.
But your brain...
YOUR MIND...
is somewhere else.
Your thoughts are on your Right Hand....
STARING
at the creases that seem to collapse into
CANYONS the second your fingers curl into your palm
To create that fist of RAGE.
But you can't seem to throw that punch.
BUT YOU WANT TO SO BAD.
So instead of throwing it at the things that deserve it
You hit yourself.
SO WHY.
WHY is your heart still beating?
WHY is your blood pumping?
WHY ARE YOU PUTTING UP WITH THE ******* THAT ISN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO MATTER?
stop.
Start focusing on that Left Hand,
Now too weak to hold the weight of the things
that YOU
Turned
Away
From.
OPEN YOUR EYES.
See the unseen.
