Heart, Beating Me to Death

by joshua-fenner

Lost in my mind in my body in my soul, I don't know what I want anymore, but isn't that how the world crumbles I need people in my life. Friends, lovers, enemies, anything. Feeling like shit is still a feeling, and boy am I swimming in it. Maybe my prospects are potential crutches for me, letting me move forward. Why should I help myself when I can instead help others? How can a businessman expect to succeed when his heart speaks louder than his mind? Let me swim in a sea of tears, drown in a river of blood. When did I become such a broken, sad man? Simpler times call for simpler pleasures, of which I have neither. Breathe into me the spirit of life and watch me choke on it and perish. Bottle up your feelings and put them on a shelf for everyone to see. Drink out of the bottles and think fondly of those memories.
