Shaken

I cannot feel today

I can’t avoid the neutral in this grey

I can’t see past this plain

I cannot stop the rain

I can’t rejoice the suns of yesterday

I can’t see past this pain

I never wanted

I never wanted more

I never wanted more

Of what you’ve given me

I cannot breathe in vain

I can’t avoid the sunshine filled today

I can’t finish this race

Oceans call your name

Rest upon the lips fatigued and drained

The tired and the shamed
