The room is hazy with aggravation
And I am sick and vacant
In my passivity.
It settles in my throat
And un-ignites behind my eyes
The feeling of isolation,
Bruised with color and
Severed veins.
The window is open
And I shake
Because I feel the ghosts
Crawling through.

Beautifully descriptive!
This was such a lovely change from some of the pieces I've read. You've taken not the situation but the feeling itself and turned it into art.
Thank you
