Old Bone
Eyes awaken
Burning, raging
Commotion
That never left
Covering my frame
And under my skin
Tempting to keep me frozen
But
Time is running out, it always is.
As I hear a voice becoming louder
“You need to GET UP”
Overshadowing it — “I cannot”
Why though?
I fidget trying to reason with my body
A body that continues to revolt
How do I reason with that?
Move my feet trying to combat the stiffness
If I could
I would squeeze my brain and then
Cuddle it
If you knew they could understand
And how?
You would voice the words that are trapped under
And always at the tip of
Your tongue
Instead, you eventually revert — frozen
Mind unable to divorce the body
However much time goes by
More than ever,
Bounded by ear splitting,
Mind piercing heaviness
Even after you close your
Eyes
