Inertia
I feel like I’m losing myself in the hours
Procrastinating all productivity
Once known too well to myself
Raised to be its existence
Now I watch it run by
Running scared
Because I feel like I’m losing myself in the hours
Feuds become whole in my mind
Nothing is growing
Creeping like vines all over my mind
And I sit and watch
With arms outstretched, tear filled eyes, salty cheeks
Passion surrounded by smoke
But where is my fire?
No longer burning
Because I feel like I’m losing myself in the hours
Echoes echoes echoes
Wake or sleep, echoes in my mind
Weep
Those salty cheeks
Those echoes, that reminder, that torture
My pride
Of echoes echoes echoes in my mind
I can’t be
Not watching it run by
Running scared
Because I feel like I’m losing myself in the hours.
