A me that isn't me
Encircled me
Embraces me
Imprisoned me
Sat on me
Smothered me
Is that a finger that tried to move?
Hold it down, you don't deserve it,
Space, existence, life
Breathe
Breath
Thought
Life
Colour
Stillness not vacuousness
Move move move
Eyelids flicker
Light dances
Greyness grows and fades
Eyes bulge fighting the torpor
I fight me
I bribe, cajole, bargain, give in, side step, fight, push and push
I am strong
But there are so many more of me, all equally strong
I am strong
Time
More time
Even more time
Even more time
Even more time
Tears
Even more time
Even more time
Even more time
I wake
For today
Barely
Have they left?
The few who remained?
