.                                   A week in my mind,                        My body carelessly toured                                                       My home            And the world through a screen.       I have been acting a moth on a wall                       Repelling any movements,                                     An itch on my nose            Or a flutter of my devilish wings.                    I drifted through the rooms,           Making a few grunts in response,        Words typed into measured boxes,                            And my eyes cast down.                                        But on my wings,               Were two massive hidden eyes                              Dressed as black spots,           Almost as if they were torn holes.                                            So things I saw,                                                 I overheard,                                                    I observed                                          And I scoffed at-                             Two little glowing suns                 Blinding, lay in a pile of meat.                                            Two little birds                                That never got wings.                                     A digital document    Defining accomplishments of my life,                                                    One big lie                               I can't seem to correct.                          One platform lined with A millions dreams and secrets spilled.                                        That shuts down       Comes up but the dreams are tired.            One big assembly of happy feets                           A roar of laughter at me.       An hour of lesson will be forgotten,                                      I was a case study.            One small group of broken souls                               And delusional hearts                                   To keep up my past,                                                I abondoned.                                              One thin book                                 Parted in the middle,                                                Upside down                                 I can't seem to finish.                                              Two sore legs                                       And heavy thighs,                                         Chipped off nails                                In an attempt to shed.                           Given up ideas on paper                           Stacked inside a drawer.                                            Dried off paint,                                   Major white spaces.                                              A swollen sky,                                        A blistering land,                                              Wilted plants.                        Rain since morning today.                                            An unmed bed,                          Pile of shirts in the chair,                    Wires tangled on two tables.                                      A corner left to sit.                                          One dear friend,                                   Some unsaid words. (I am a mess) No point made (?)

Shoo me away Or I will sit dormant on the wall for ages. (The usual thoughts).
