Habits of the Pupil

A pupil is an example of bad habits.
Closing off when bright things are ahead.
And opening up to all the dark things.
But in the end, the pupil is just a black hole in your eye.
Feeling something that resembles a black hole inside of you.
So full, but so empty.
Empty from all the energy people drain from your body.
You end up staring in front of you,
Not being able to move a single muscle.
Paralyzed by everyone's actions.
Frozen in place.
Can't someone focus on themself for a moment.
Not bothering anyone around them.
Just wanting to ease their minds.
And most of all,
Stop being so fucking tense!
But nobody learns.
They keep on exhausting you,
Until there's no energy left.
Ending up in a mental coma state of being.
Feeling completely numb.
Just trying to survive and stay alive.
