Trial

TV static crinkles at the very fibers of my being 

My brain is nothing more than a boat being tossed about by waves

My stomach feels like a ball being kicked by children

My eyes are lost and glossy like a baby deer lost in a field; constantly darting and wide with the inevitability of death

The bags under my eyes are a harsh purple iris in a field of daisies 

The carefully screwed-shut mouth on my face wobbles every time a gust of wind pushes my way

It is a good thing; that he is on trial 

but why do I feel like the one waiting for the death sentence

I feel like a bird that the cat has caught and brought to its owner to see its kill
