Imagine standing on top a tall building just breathing, the act that was so carefree once is now difficult. Ten years ago, I was looking down at cars jetting to some destination called Z, Y, and Z. Another overpriced apartment complex for the newest generation that thinks me sleeping is a weakness. The sun dies every night and I exist to those that hate me even though I am not famous. Somewhere near my head a fly buzzes, and little birdies fly close to the trees not making any noise. Water rises as the heart beats in the sunken sand, and no one questions the natural effects of waiting. There is enough space to leave behind the riddles, the thoughts do not move in the same way. One lane is calming, the other frantic, there is nothing in between but clapping for the buffoons. It is time to stand tall like the building with windows fight for the reflection, and force the mirror to bend. I can overtake natural beauty with death, and there is nothing left but the illusion of caring people. Empty decoys ten years ago, all of them unconnected, pure unnamed uselessness because balance is never tame. Never turn away, divert my eyes from power, it is all I need for my pathetic self.
