“Overtime” by Ashley Murello

Busy, busy
you're too busy, too lazy,
thoughts too hazy to make sense,
all this time just lost
to crazy
emotions, a tide of tears
rolling in and out
like my mind
working overtime,
a reel of film
that snaps images
but can't quite place them,
can find the setting,
sun setting over me
as I stare up at the sky
watch it fade from blue, grey
black everywhere
and I still sit wondering
how to get out
