when you focus on something
so absolutely that your vision blurs and there is nothing else,
it is easy to forget that you are broken

so i stapled the papers together in a neat little stack, again and again and again until i was left with nothing, finishing more work than my own in an attempt to forget

and when it was over

i sat proudly
at the desk and
played with the
stapler like a
child would

i wouldn't call it poetryWhere stories live. Discover now
