The cold and the confusion.

The overlooked and the overdoses.

The solemn and the silence.

The fatigued and the forgotten.

This is the only world I know.

 

Everyday dreadfulness.

Everyday remembrance.

Everyday uncertainty.

Everyday wonderment.

Normality. 

 

Encircled by cherophobics

Encircled by philophobics

Forever encircled,

But always alone.

Alone at heart.
