I don't feel like myself right now
I don't feel like myself right now
My hands feel soiled and hurt,
From long days spent in the dirt,
My feet feel swollen and beat,
From long nights on the street.
My eyes feel red from all the rubbing,
From dead stares that keep watching.
My ears feel full of dried blood like they burst,
Trying unsuccessfully to block out all the worst.
My heart feels deathly wounded,
And my spirit wasn't unaffected.
My soul feels hollowed, emptied out,
Replaced with fear, anxiety and doubt
My back feels like a hump is growing out from inside,
From the pressure that pushed my posture till it died.
My tongue feels shriveled and dried, the words won't form right,
From all the blood I've swallowed biting back on the urge to fight.
This body has become so brittle,
from once feeling indestructible
This soul now feels either useless or vicious,
From so much promise, to so much sadness.
