"Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans"







-John Lennon


Trapped
Suffocated
Sadness
Looming over
Vast; giant
A sprawling, grey ocean
A vicious sea monster

Angry
Petty
Pity
Getting larger
Flourishing; growing
Quick sand sucking
Giant insects seething

Tired
Empty
Alone
Collapsing
Falling; failing
A million degrees
A sun, burning alive

Burnt
Seared
Fried
Screaming
Fierce; fragile
A thousand windstorms
Blistering skin

Alive
Alone
Dead
Heart beating
Silence
A trillion tears
Yet to fall
