There are days I merely exist.
I breathe, I beat
I eat.
The whir of passing cars
Is all I hear.
Those days I play no role.
My hands are empty of purpose,
My thoughts sleep.
My body is neutral
Neither beautiful nor wrong.
I am nothing,
Yet something.
It is messily forced upon me
To shut up and watch.
I gaze out and over life.
It stares back,
Consuming me.
