Pill Sick (Becoming Negative Space) - Gillian Carter

I used to sleep

Now I just stare

Neglected in time

Becoming negative space

A minor

Setback

From you

From you

Expressions of sickness taking your health

Expressions of sickness taking your wealth

Expressions of sickness taking your health

Expressions of sickness taking your wealth

The beaming

Struggle of

A mind

Still fleeting

There was a light, bliss-less and bitter

There was a sound, timeless and shrill

There was a taste, blameless with age

There was a pain, internal and vast

Selling your soul for refillable gold

The earth tries to move while you’re standing still

Sleep deprived, motionless, and ill

The earth tries to move while you’re standing still
