Fatigue
We run towards fear when fear is familiar.
My energy was left in last weeks trash that my roommate took out two days ago.
When they found it, they noticed it was glued to a heart and soul.
Lifeless and empty, they left it there to be.
A new feeling, so dull, had engulfed my body.
How will one succeed if they are chasing their demons just so they can sleep?
Their lifeless souls have been given a place to stay.
She fed and took care of them, yet they continued to run the other way.
She reluctantly sighed, and began once again: the tender chase of the demons that live in her head.
