Hell If I Know What to call it

by Nicole M. - Gemini

Every shred of anything
you ever felt sparked
any sort of anything
inside that spot
inside where you really live
the place where you cannot even find
sometimes
gets burried underneath
all the obligations
and expectations
and righteous things
you know you should do
but all these shoulds
won't amount to one
want
and starts to eat at you
at the numb part that never notices it
until it's too late
when it gets to the part
that's full of nerves
until a ton of bricks is laying on you
and you realize just how gray and dead
you shoulds are
now you are trapped inside a box
that you're not smart enough
to see the door to the way out
and you die
the part where you really live
dies
because you went blind
and could no longer see
its doorway
