moments of Apocalypse

I had a very traumatic experience yesterday

& today just feels like nothing

I’m looking at this mangled life

And my deadpan face remains stone

“That seems about right” as I wander

Through my forgotten memories

Knowing it gets blurry N’B’Tween

So that when life begins to feel clearer again

I know something terrible is about to happen

& even though my body thinks it’s having a panic attack

I can just sit back & have a snack – I’m living it

& sometimes I question if it’s really just an act

Am I just trying to get back at myself

For torturing myself through life

Thinking I had to always be perfect

Always be right

whatever…

I had a very traumatic experience yesterday

& well, I feel like I should be having

Some deep self reflection about what I value

& how can I use yesterday to change my life

But even though moments of Apocalypse

It just feels the same as any other awful memory

God turns on the lights, and while most gasp

My stone mask doesn’t even need to ask

“Yeah, that seems about right”

& keep walking past without breaking stride

Everything aligns with my good design

. ..

Fuck you

….

I’m ending this poem here.
