Tired

a poem by Feroze Varun Gandhi

I’ve buried the wrong life
I’ve been led by the wrong cry
I’ve not tried to get past myself enough
It’s all going to come back someday
In a tired voice
Demanding its own back
In a blackness that can only be described as the past

Numbing all experience
No judgement
No voice
Retreating into image
The idea of the image
