heart quickens
then stops
what
how
why
why
why
need to process
don’t want to process
take dog for long walk
raining.
fitting,
cleansing,
not healing.
why
why
why
put on mask for daily tasks
feel everything wither inside behind the
plastic smile
can’t share
can’t risk unzipping
there’s too much that is not easily shoved
back in
go through the motions while frozen inside
just want to numb out with
food
shopping
drinks
jesus please
if not understanding, bring peace
heal us,
comfort us.
