Forever Blue
Frozen by uncontrollable, invisible angst
thriving on my anxiety
Motions to emotions of anchors, wrapped chains hold me down
Unable to escape for freedom
The body lays,
drowning in breath, air that is poison
Movements that were once freely by choice of living in normalcy withered down to fragments of imagination
Force to walk from safety into depths of the pandemic for green that dulls out dollar signs for weekly survival
While vaccines are far and few the battle to contain is only fleeting
Variants began to thrive as half the population lay in a lie
Death comes....surrounds us all
My mind says to flee and the body agrees but the greed in America ties me down to the depths of hell to earn green in order to serve the affluent that offers a little piece of survive ability by paying a sum
The mind shatters-
with winds blown from the nose of the selfish
Chin guards adorn from selfish souls to those who walk across stores adorn in there full face not blocked by life saving mask
Forever blue in lost days lost life to the lies that killed thousands of thousands
