Day 96: “Not Feeling”

---

I don’t really feel like being witty

I don’t feel like being smart

I don’t feel like cracking jokes

I don’t feel like cracking smiles

But I also don’t feel like frowning

I don’t feel like pouting

---

I’m in an in-between place

The air is still

There is no sound

No time

---

I don’t feel like caring

I don’t feel like being numb

---

Maybe I’m just overwhelmed

By the state of the world

By everyday life

---

Maybe I just need a break
