i want to untie myself sometimes
from life and just lie down on the ground
lifeless, at least for a minute,
and then go back to breathing after
a short death.
i need a short death that will give me
some time to think and process
the things that are in front of me.
i need a short death that will give me
a short pause from constant moving
because i need rest.
i need a short death that will give me
at least one reason to stay alive,
because i’m starting to forget why i should
hold still.
because the world is moving
and it won’t wait for me,
so i need to keep on running too
or else i’ll be left behind.
and it exhausts me,
i wasn’t prepared for this.
