Barely awake
Barely conscious
With a belly full of chemicals
And a broken back
He stands
Against the current
Instead of
Falling backwards
And flowing with it
Barely trying
Hardly thriving
With a hypnotized mind
And a programmed brain
Trying desperately
To move
Trying desperately
To survive
Sleepy dreams of feeling alive
Whispering songs of little ideas
While staring at the ceiling fan’s
Going through that blackhole
All while searching
For a home
For a restless soul
That is bored of being bored
So the soul, it tries to stir
It tries desperately
To move
But restless souls
Just
Wander the universe
Never satisfied
Never there
Always
Somewhere
Else
Never
Here
