Gray Monday
The air oppressive
heavy on my chest
Pressing me to the couch
like a clumsy boyfriend
Neurons lethargic
Not enough caffeine
or urgency to resist
This won’t kill me
so why struggle
Apathy reigns
as drops against the window
throb inside my head
Close eyes to focus
on the next viscous breath
Some days to keep breathing
is all the fight I can summon.

Yes, sometimes it is enough to simply breathe, perhaps watch the surrounding world's turmoil. Fine work, brokentitanium.

Thank you, crow.... the world's turmoil is too much for me on those sorts of days - all I want to see is the back of my eyelids!
Appreciate your kind words.
