Eyes wide open, yet seeing nothing

Mind working, yet thinking nothing

Tired rituals play on repeat

Never new, rarely different

Numbingly automatic.


Stifled and occupied without meaning

Volumous tasks of vacant emptiness

Burning inside, fighting to get out

Searching for a place

Summoning the strength.


Distracted and thoughtful

Patience absent,

Dreaming, simmering

Eager to try…..

Desperate to feel…..


Wake Me Up!
