Feathers

Lost again

Not sure what I've done

Wrong

Wondering

If I should just give in

Dizzying reality

Unable to

Stand on my own

Surrendering

Can't keep track of myself

Or won't

I thought I survived the bottom

But it turns out

There were more nails to be driven

Down into this head I call mine

Please release me

As more pile up

Turns out digging out just made it deeper

I just want to live

I just want to live

Problems look like feathers

Feel like lead to me

As they drift into my back

Another and another

As I temporarily pacify

With whatever I can

I have no money

I have no time

For more permanent solutions

Solve the puzzle

With these scattered pieces

Bit by little bit

Worn away

Weathered this storm for so long

Sometimes I can't see the rain anymore

Because it's so normal

Ever present

Feather shaped stones

Fill my backpack

And yet more keep showing

I don't know how to take them away

And when I manage to

They multiply

I try to tell people

Try to explain

But they still look like feathers

They're only feathers...
