My Pandemic of Apathy

 

My world and everything in it is overwhelmed with numbness.

A sense of helplessness has evolved into apathy.

I exist in a state of perpetual limbo.

This is my pandemic.

Even I am ignoring my growing inner despair. 

I am a piece of driftwood that, day to day,  

Floats about the ocean submitting to the whims of the tides.

Unable or unwilling to pick a direction and form a goal. 

Just existing uninspired and lacking enlightenment.

What do I have to do to be heard?

To be taken seriously?

Open a vein?
