Forced to be someone
I’ve never met
Pulled down in a drowning
Pool; endless wet
Rage regardless of the climate
My legs are numb
From the cold of your heart
And my diminished reasons are only some
Of the aches my back feels everyday
I’ve grown frosty in this arid land
Touching icicles growing down my nose
Stretching to the frozen sand
Anything, which now has become everything
Bleeds when I touch
Fragile flowers who can no longer sing
Breathe collapsing breaths
Harsh, penetrating moonlight
Cancer Man in the Moon
Smiles through a rotting frown
The quiet suffering arriving all too soon
I grasp certain pseudo-hopes
But now everything is changed
To satisfy a new breed of virus
Genotype oddly arranged
Winter, Summer, and intervention
A place of suffering affinity
Hiding in all the corners of the room
Limitless room, stretching beyond infinity
No license to hold on to nothing
So life slips through the fingers
Remote and sad, ailments spanning centuries
While light briefly glows, darkness lingers
