Collection

Please try to preserve the sleepless innocence,

It shows the most trying of souls through shiftless inter-changables.

I beg for mercy from these woes,

For there are few others i can relate to these days!

 

As my body transforms,

And my body warps,

For once in my life

I anticipate the bitter cold!

 

And i’d rather not hear you speak such banter any longer,

For it is far too much to bare,

Especially in such times

Where both shoulder blades and ribs

Cave in on an aching pity of tirelessness–

Bloodshot eyes and arthritis

Aching from the forearms down.

 

Academia has yet to begin.

I wring my skin of an aching burn.

The body is weary and demands rest as i can expect it.

Coincidentally, demand is on the rise–

Or could it just be another ideology,

One that explains the universe to the mind?

Depriving the body teaches one how to survive…
