Today I boycotted the world

24 July 2010, Saturday

Today I boycotted the world
I slept but I did not fall asleep
I ate but I it did not satisfy my hunger
I drank but it did not quench my thirst

I read but the words were blur
I wrote but it was unintelligible
I spoke but no one listened to me
I sang but there was no melody

I lie down but the mattress seemed hard
I cried but there were no tears
I ran and I stumbled
I fell into a deep hole

I bade goodbye
But the universe is still spinning
And reality hit me
I'm still here
The world still needs me
It continues to embrace me
