So I cut my hair And changed my barbells Switched out my hoop And bought new clothes Rearranged my room Changed shampoos But still I feel the same

Through the Motions
Sometimes I walk on water. Not high above it all- Just right there at surface level. Not deep enough to drown. Not deep enough to swim. Not high enough to fear falling in. Sometimes I walk on water And watch schools of fish Playfully chase one another, Not noticing me. I feel curious sharks graze my feet, Confused as to why they can’t reach their meal. Some follow for hours, Waiting for a taste They won’t get- Because right now, I’m walking on water.
