Feedback Loop
Spring the dark shade
to ray in 2pm light.
Trying to feel better,
put perspective on things.
The dark thoughts
coming down again,
putting the body
in supine form.
Scribble down dark thoughts,
the lack of hope,
the why exist
when pieces ache, missing
in the world’s scaffolding.
Sketch reality,
grim under a patch of light.
