What Am I Doing?

by ·

4/4/2019
what am I doing? what am I doing?
nothing. I'm doing nothing at all.
should I take this time to just be?
free my mind, even if just for a moment?
this moment, which will never again be
the future is now the present
the present is now gone for good
what I do now will be judged as the past
even if I do nothing at all
viewed through the lens of perfect hindsight
all is seen, nothing is overlooked
so do something, damnit! do something!
my leg shakes but my body is still, numb
stuck in this position: set in stone
unable to do. anything.
