Slouching Shoulders
A man building stars
Ignored his aching shoulders
Feeding his daughters
Balls of my feet
I wake up everyday to the sound of my heartbeat
I ache to lay down in the comfort of my sheets
I stretch inside the warm hug of my bed in the morning
I fetch the phone screaming as a warning
Line Intersections
Palms.
Callus
Feel them and recognize that they are no longer the soft hands they once were
Peeled off skin and a worn out texture decorate the palms of my hand
They've been working so hard to hold onto things that they've sacrificed their quality
Feel them and realize they were never meant to be soft hands
In and out,
Callus
Sleep
I can't go to sleep
I can't sleep
It's important
Its peaceful
Its quiet
It finally dawns on me
Because sometimes we need to lose in order to let the other things win
So I close my eyes
Hear
For how can we face the real world, if we're not prepared
