An unnatural state, to be alone.
Setting in motion a catatonic, primordial survival mode, a paralysis of doing
and non-doing.
The gentle struggle of alternating ideas of self, of resisting and
succumbing.
There is something unwilling about it, where our responsibilities are both
ostracising and stigmatising.
In this oscillation the dysmorphic body collapses,
and we emerge into the burden of everyday tasks and roles,
the rituals of daily existence.
The battle to stay upright. The battle to sustain ourselves.
But the body is heavy.
Too much noise to be calm.
Too much solitude to be happy.
Is life just a few decades of dying
or an unbecoming,
a rebirth into stillness
coupled with love.
