drug in my system

can’t feel the edge

sleepless body

soulless mind

I smile on cue

like I’m supposed to

like I’m not breaking

all the time

I don’t belong here

I never fit

I try to stay still

then I slip

don’t look at me

I’m not what you think

I’m just noise

between your scenes

I don’t belong here

but I remain

too scared to leave

too tired to change
