Patient Under Observation

I can’t eat

I can’t sleep

I can’t grieve

How do you mourn a situation

How do you get rid of a frustration

What do you lean on when there’s no family tree

Broken branches are all around me

Death seems to say trick-or-treat

I’ve got Gnarls Barkley on repeat

Life is an endless loop of defeat

I don't seem to belong anywhere painless

Independence is constantly demanding payment

I want to apologize

To younger generations

Please realize in adulthood there is no vacation

Give me time and space

Grief isn’t a race

Let my tears flow down with grace
