Discomfort
Peter Halpin
Words trickle slowly into me, meaningless words.
They stay there to decompose and rot in me.
I'm feeling a heavy fog in my lazy head.
A drowsy neck that aches as it hangs forward.
Open eyes are staring through my surroundings.
I cannot be bothered to speak aloud, just to myself;
To remind myself of all my mistakes and wrong-doings.
It is like a polluted smog that drowns my senses out.
My mind implodes so slowly, shrinking in to squash itself.
All my strength is gone, all wasted. I cannot smile.
Time is not an issue. I do not know it so I let it pass.
I need to take a bath in which to fall asleep.
I don't want to die, I just don't want to live here anymore.
Nothing has colour, vigour or interest to me these days;
and that is all I have until who knows when - nothing.
The day I leave this atmosphere will be a celebration.
