the help / 26.03.19

with nothing else
to write, i sit—
silent.
my eyes burn,
as tears fight from flowing.

i no longer breathe
the fresh air of a summer
day or smile a grin
that is ever glowing.

my mind churns
and pounds in an
aching sensation that
breaks my skull.

i am always needed
where there is a problem
that must be fixed.
but i am useless when there
is no need for me.

i am an
insurance policy.
