down

i don’t know why
my body
is so disconnected
from my mind
and soul
so foolish
so misdirected
it can cry out
for a mere physical
pain
but cannot shed
one tear
for all the
turmoil
inside me
it never gets out
it never escapes
i have an ocean
in my soul
full of
uncried
tears
weighing me down
pulling me down
down
into the earth
oh please
just lift me up
out of here
