All of a sudden, I'm cold.
The air tickles my nose as it cools my throat, and my knees quiver under the cotton knitting of my jeans.
All of a sudden, I'm tired.
Everyday. All day.
The pages turn, each with less vigor than the last.
All of a sudden I'm sore.
My hands creaking; back aching.
Time stomps its stone feet on my shoulders, as it should, without regret.
All of a sudden, I'm purposeless.
The passion I admire slips through my fingers and trickles onto the floor like water from a dish towel.
All of a sudden, I'm angry.
Sounds of hate escape my soul through pursed lips.
I curse myself by laying seige to those closest to me.
All of a sudden, I'm stagnant.
Sinking in life slowly until bedrock.
My troubles rise through my toes like chains locking me in.
All of a sudden, I'm lost.
Alone, Pulling at synapses to recover what was once my image.
The air tickles my nose as it cools my throat.
All of a sudden, the man I once was is forgotten.
