Going through this 

Unseeing eyes

Glazed, taking in nothing and everything

Recycling responses, records yearning, break me!
 

Breathing in this

Swallowing a fist full of fiber glass, grinding down,embedded 
Licking the fingers clean

Tasting the scrape of maw, a stifle unparalleled

Poisoned and pained
 

Living beyond this

Sobs locked, leaking, redden with existence

New normal, aberrant

Smiling unfeelingly, empathetically faulty
