“Destruction is a form of creation.”


I am a ton
Filled to the brim
The sack flowing over
A pebble in my stomach
The pit never ending
Weighed down
Pulled down
Down
Down
Down
I am a ton
Spilling over
Poured onto others
My weight theirs
We are filled to the brim
Can’t lift these feet
An elephants weight
I am the weight
The weight me
Filled to the brim
The pebble a boulder
I can no longer move
Suffocated by this force
Weighed down by this ton
