Untold Exhaustion

 A little underestimated,

fated

to be dependent.


Could you care less?

Be careless?


Blank and free

from life’s brutality.


Shaded under the umbrella

of rubbish-

the tricks they sell

to have you buy

their unfortunate lie.


Good enough,

what is good enough?

When will you be?

Will you see

your habits are killing you?

Out of the blue,

I see the wee and the few

suffering under Aurora’s hue.


A memory- out of sight.

Realizing your addiction won the fight.

Couldn’t change your plight

or your endless energy

turned to Untold Exhaustion.


I am not tired.

I will go on.

I cannot sleep.


There’s untold abundance

under every man’s skin.

The thought of what

he could’ve been.
