     heart, beats
     lungs, breathe
     eyes, blink

  Going through the motions is tough.

How am I supposed to keep
       it together when I feel so
                          s e p a r a t e d ?
All of my pieces were scattered
to the ocean, like ashes, and I
can no longer feel the current of my
body as it moves.

     One foot in front of the other.
        Walk. Move. Everything's fine.

No one can tell that you're
   not really in control
Watch yourself exist.
Take a permanent back seat,
let the routines do the rest.
Watch it all slip away.

  Going through the motions is tough.
