Pretty Moon Distraction

By: Isabelle Morgan

Preoccupied

Pretty lost in thought

Distracted

Where I stand

Is really far away

From where I am

The sun is falling

I never can catch it

So I get taken by the moon

And get lost in their chase

Pretending that this isn’t 

One predictable loop

Where I actually have no say

Where night doesn’t give a fuck about the day

The world is cracked

I trip every step

Falling only pauses 

When it’s time to 

Move up the track

And it isn’t just my path

This world is falling apart

What if this is just the start

What if my knees never catch

And I spend every period between falls

Healing from a broken chest

Even this ceiling fan is chipped
