Coco

Silence spreads. 

It blankets churning mouths like grazing cows come frost.

Never has the silence echoed so. 

Rain patters down on doorsteps 

Houses, roofs and windows

Every where it clatters down 

Diminishing the rainbows 

Houses moan and creek 

Groaning with agony 

Sidewalks take the pain

It feels like drowning in expectations while trying to convince the world I can swim. 

I’m always performing.  

The pressure is suffocating. 

I've been thinking recently a lot about my time on screens, and how it seems like I can't escape my phone and other technology.
