Aware

It must be a wednesday
or a friday
or any day at all
for I am painfully aware of the world
that consumes me
But the aware
are few and far between
As for the rest
they may be aware of the day of the week
but not much more

My heart was paper
 now folded six times over
 to make it harder
 to tear
 I only hope that

Meaning

I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
Living

Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
