Tick, tick
Tick, tick
Scrape across the wire
Boom
The day keeps taking
A bite from my name
Another task in my pocket
Another mark on my face
My hands stay busy
My head stays split
I answer one more message
And lose a little bit
I can feel it pulling
At the seams of my skin
I keep saying, "later"
But later won't begin
The screen keeps calling
The room gets thin
I set myself down
And it takes it in
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
Piece by piece
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
What's left of me
Mouth full of deadlines
Eyes full of grit
Whole week folded over
Like a bruise I sit with
I laugh at the ceiling
I nod at the noise
Every yes is heavy
Every hour gets void
I can feel it pulling
At the seams of my skin
I keep saying, "later"
But later won't begin
The screen keeps calling
The room gets thin
I set myself down
And it takes it in
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
Piece by piece
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
What's left of me
No grand collapse
Just a quiet wear
A coat I kept on
Till it turned to air
I don't need saving
I need to breathe
But the day keeps leaning
And it leans on me
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
Piece by piece
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
What's left of me
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
Till I go numb
The day keeps taking
The day keeps taking
And I come undone

Nothing Holds Me Here
Dovren Hales
Beneath the feet of modern people chased by notifications, expectations, watchful eyes, and the past, a suppressed voice begins to rise: "I want to be free"
