This is not living
it’s existing
I can’t breathe
only feel exhausted
gasping for breath
outside this prison
of ambigous destination
my eyeballs so heavy
weighing down under
eye circles
I carry my choices
on my sore shoulders
my frustrations live
in my lower back
and I can’t bend
to my own expections
I close my eyes
and my imagination
spins outa this space
to new constellations
My forearm presses
on those eyeballs
and visions appear
witnessing scenes
where I’m not there
It’s an in body experience
and I can’t get out
no matter how I try
gonna live in these places
to the end of my existence

my frustrations live
in my lower back
and I can’t bend
to my own expectations
especially love the concreteness of the stanza
Agree- I love this line!
Bless your heart!
