the rain destroys my hair
wipes away my smile like
acetone on nail polish.
•
she smiles. I smile back,
but I didn’t want to. I am
too tired to function.
•
I constantly am at a loss
of seemingly everything;
words, faith, hope, love,
I don’t know why it is
so tiring, except that
it just is. Lethargic.
•
she is graceful and calm
i am erratic and dumb
my legs won’t move when
I want it to, I fall.
•
my wrist hurts.
•
and I know that this tiredness
is incurable with sleep
like raindrops against my skin
it starts off soft and grows into
a thunderstorm; and it consumes me
together with it.
