Head in the Sand

Abecedarian Poetry Challenge

Absent

breaths.

Can't deal with

everything,

forever

getting stuck with my

head

in the sand.

Just can't

keep

living with no

motivation,

no hopes or dreams

or

possibilities for the future.

Quiet, the world around me is

rocking to and fro

spinning everything on its head, confusing.

The

universe is

vast, and though we are nothing,

we are far from insignificant. From

xylems to planets, we are

yearning to be more. But there are a

zillion things more important than I.
