Here I Sit

A Poem

Here I sit Perplexed and languid My connection to the world through a screen Sorting through messages from people I know and people I don’t wondering if any of it is real

Maybe this is a computer simulation and I am a sim but then why can’t they make me just a couple notches happier? I mean, why is this my narrative? The one where I do so much and receive so little Or possibly it’s only that I think that I do too much and I reject all receipts because of the pressure

Here I sit Tired, but well-rested Confused, but focused A veritable pigpen of contradictions Each one standing alone and not knowing how to integrate Leaving me in this state of general unrest

I type words to free my mind and wonder if they make me feel better or worse, for having to write them I touch the surface of emotions and that’s far enough for me So I climb back into my shell and pull the top to bottom and I remain, upright

Sitting when others are walking Stagnant when others are moving Complacent when others are building Sad when others are happy Here I sit the same as yesterday and the same as the day before Maybe I’m just a shadow
