Laid out like a paraplegic
Meanwhile
Everybody can tell me what’s supposed to happen.
How I should feel
Just keep quiet. Just keep moving the sound bites around and look down at the sidewalk. Keep your head. Hold your emotions. In.
Everybody can tell me what’s supposed to happen.
Everybody can tell me that love comes and goes.
That you’re special and this is just a thing.
That life is ever changing and things can be unpredictable.
Predict these.
Predict this.
See why I’m stuck in a paradigm.
This shift.
This movement of non sense.
Shut down
Since
It all stopped.
All I really want to do is scream
and be heard.
It all stopped.
I can take the silence.
I can deal with the heavy lips with too much rage to speak.
I can exist in this place of limbo and languish
As long as I know
I will walk again.
