Stuck inside these drab yellow walls

Hours pass

But the clock still reads 2:30.

Nowadays I don’t know

If the time is coming or going.

People swim back and forth,

Never really going anywhere,

And I watch.

I don’t want anyone to drown

Because somehow

It would be my fault.

I’m sure my face reads blank

Or miserable.

My eyes alone are vigilant.

My mind is racing

And long ago passed off

It’s outward duty.

You see,

Misery loves company,

And each sad, tired face I see

Reminds me

Of my instability.

I can’t save

Anyone

With thoughts like these

Myself especially.
