30/thirty.

DRY EYES
dry eyes, itching fingers, this is feeling always lingers.
uneasy, exhausted, unready to begin, again.

i need to take ten,
ten minutes to unwind.
deep breaths, world, i beg of you, be kind.
because i'm starving for attention
lacking inspiration, this suspension
of my heart under my tired feet,

i am dying,
dying to make ends meet
i am failing before i start,
hit the ground almost as hard as my heart,


soften me.

because i am exhausted with
exhausted with trying and with no success.
spirit, fall fresh, pick me up,
give me rest, breath, courage, hope.
