Back to Basics

I guess you could say the amount of pressure in my body
is pretty unique.
It's all inside but its work is there for you to see
if you're looking
close enough.
My neck is tense and can't quite crack.
I'm not so mobile but for front and back,
as those are the ways I wade on decisions
TOO BIG
to quite fit right inside my head.
So when I sit down to get back to basics,
I see that basics have been breaking
for some time.
The pieces are on the ground,
lost where they were found
without much at all to say besides
"can't move on and can't stay the same."
And my lips purse. And my shoulders sigh.
And my eyes get distant
as the clock keeps ticking
and I lose my mind
a day at a time.
