i've been struck with the kind of tiredness

that sleep can never fix

ill, with a sickness, that medicine

will never cure

i've tried everything- but to no avail

drowning

no water

suffocating

plenty of air

smothered with sadness

exposed to fiery hatred

while the world moves around me

I stay clawing at the ground.

You cannot fix

what is not broken

there is no return policy

on a damaged heart.
