Sunken Thoughts
- a Poem
- by Jethro André Jolliffe
How would you understand
How it feels
When you see
Your family
Breaking up into these tiny fragments
Daily
How would you understand
How it feels
To keep it all in
And put up a smile
Daily
How would you understand
How it feels
To keep moving even with
All that weight, not saying anything
Daily
But, wait!
Why do you even need to?
It’s my headache
I will deal with it
Cuz isn’t that what the world has now turned to
Ever thought
How cool-ly the world lies
After being asked
How are you?
