Slaves To My Feet

Up and down
Left and right
Back and forth
Over an over again.

My life repeats.
Everyday,
The same emotions,
Conversations,
Routines.

I do not feel
And rarely
Have to think.

Consciously unaware,
I move
From here to there,
My feet slaves
To my mind.

Automatically moving...
The soul within me
Trapped, jailed
Within this solid mass,
Barricading me from my freedoms.
