Lost in the headlines

 


The weight of my spirit is crushed 

in between the lines , 

I am barely seen 

The mirror lies to my face 

I embrace the picture 

that’s painted by strangers

strangling the essence of my being 



Like a mouse navigates looking for cheese , 

I salivate en-route retracing my roots 

I circle Sans-serifs squeeze in the intervals

Numerals and syllables shadow my presence , 



commas are commonly misplaced 

behind empty sentences 

and metaphors that miss the point 

Articles are unfitting to describe me

My existence suffocates within this text box
