Madness and Monotony

by Dani

I am tired
of being tired
don’t mistake my
helplessness
for laziness
if i could do something
I bloody well would

Lub dub
lub dub
I hear you heart
do you hear me
wake up
stop beating
mechanically
beat because
you’re alive
beat frantically
beat slowly
beat loud
beat soft
just spare me the
monotony

and stop chugging
like a train
so tired of her tracks and
the same stations
the same bored people
with their bored faces
commuting, aimlessly

beat
and make it count
beat
and make a sound.
