inept

the white noise

deafening

white noise

permanently crippling

my senses

---

I can’t stand

the pressure

anymore

caged inside

a glass retainer

pushing against

invisible walls

---

I feel

them

narrowing

my body strained

on a rack

tension pressing

against borders

---

too tight

or none

at all

the plain surface

cracks

functioning

cracks

---

disruption

becomes

visible

a blast

smashes

feigned wholeness

to genuine fragments

---

inept

but liberated

no more faking
