My hands grasp onto unsure objects Fighting the past and barely handling the future And I feel sick. I feel sick each day Each morning Each evening Each conversation Each cigarette. I cannot digest this, Nor can I digest the food on my plate, Or the information thrown at me each day. I am lethargic and boring, Lame and confused, Tired and constant, There is no change. I fear routine but Also fear change I am fickle. I am boring I am selfless I am selfish I am sure I am distant I am clingy Like the shore. I pull you in when I need you Push you away when I don't Cry when I am uncomfortable And turn dark and I am cold. I grasp onto unsure things, Hoping I will gain control. Control is not in my control; However, I will try and grasp onto these feelings, Write about it and wither in self pity Only to realize I can only control the words Escaping my chapped lips.
