I Cannot Breathe

I cannot breathe 
Not because my lungs are full

But because my mind is scattered 

And my heart is broken

And My life is paused

Yesterday is so far away

Today makes no sense

Tomorrow just more of the same 

When Monday looks like Sunday 

And there’s no reason to get dressed

To breathe, to breathe, to breathe 

Without the bad news and the sad news

Everyone talking about the apex

And no one hearing the silence

And the loss of normal.
