Biting the Hand that feeds me

Chiaryn Davis

if your hands uphold the earth,
why am I suffering? in and out
of mental dis-ease but no disease.
I am trapped. my body works against
me, correctly malfunctioning. I have lost
my mind and found the nerve to question
you. waiting scares me, so don’t leave me here.
how much longer will I sit
in the dark?
