When

When things fall apart and you don’t know when they are going to be back together again.

When people fall apart and send showers of sparks and shrapnel.

When I fall apart and feel empty.

When humans act human.

When your force field is damaged and you are running out of power.

When you wish you could just curl up and never unwind to face the world again.

When a pretty face brings you no pleasure and inane, inoccuous chatter hurts your brain.

When you see colour but no joy.

When I stand still and hurt.

We are all just people being people. I wish there was a painless way to do this.

There is not.

Wishing you all the happiness the Universe can bring
A person
