I Can'T Wait To Feel Something

I can't wait to feel something I can't wait to open my eyes and see a thousand colors ricocheting off the walls of my marble prison. I can't wait for the bloody porcelain to be cleansed by the tears of angels. I can't wait for this invisible burden to escape me; for the weight of the world to once again be nestled in the crook of Atlas's back. I can't wait for joy; for the muscles in my jaw to understand the conventions of this unnatural world. I can't wait for the day, for any day, as I am tormented by the night- the shadow and clouds of my mind paint dark streaks across the sun and sky and stars. I can't wait for the LED screen to crack, for the artificial light to take its rightful place in the graveyard of inhumanity. I can't wait for my soul. I can't wait for thin skin to crack at the sound of a harsh word. I can't wait for the universe to start; I can't wait for it to finally end.
