"Unprecedented Times"

unprecedented times

I am in
The world is in
We are in
Survival mode.
My body’s survival mode consists of
Relying on fast carbs and empty calories
Over full meals at designated times
Drinking juice so much more often than water I’m growing canker sores on my tongue
Survival mode means
I need easy energy
To get myself through each day
The motivation to complete tasks in even the most simple of schedules
The craving for any remote amount of consistency
Found in all the wrong places
Constant hunger relieved by always snacking
Constant fatigue solved by late mornings and afternoon naps resulting in late nights all over again
Constant loneliness and attempts to dissolve end in reusing the same scripted conversation each night:
I’m ok. I miss you.
