INERTIA

Unchanged notions,
I'm still unfazed,
my eyes stare ahead
with a glossy gaze.

my resolve has crumbled,
my skin sags,
there's salt on my cheeks,
my clothes are rags.

going through the motions,
starting from scratch,
it's a miracle
that I'm still intact.

my wounds are open,
my arms are mapped
with scars from the past
that shackle me where I stand.

I can't don my cape
of nonchalance anymore,
I long to throw away
this tattered stole.

but my fire is dying,
the embers are ash.
my efforts are
nothing but trash.

unmoving, unchanging,
forever remaining,
standing in the past;
fighting the emotions that I keep masked.
