System

Written by Destiny Bergeron

The broken bits lead me home

To the creases in my bedsheets

days blend together

Nothing but a blur

Feels like I’m miles away

I find shelter in being alone

Noise of the world seems absurd

I try drowning it out

headphones

And my face in my phone

Non conscious acts of human interaction

I’m on autopilot

My will isn’t broken

it’s

Just a lil hard to find

at the moment

I learned it’s my own self-defense

System

Switched on when

I don’t trust my own actions

I wrote these words before

I gotta know which way up is

Before I know which way to go

Only difference is

Now I know

I gotta find the way on my own
