Awareness

It's difficult to convince yourself that living is worth it when nothing seems real.
Like glassy eyes staring past you on the cool of a day.
A drop of sweat forms on your brow and perishes into the depths of the cotton below.
Silence wreaks havoc.
It's been like 20 minutes.
What is she thinking?
Her mind floats lazily about as if it had better things to do.
Her wooden legs, weightless before her.
Well, I guess it's time to get back to work.
She puts her Bible down and walks out the door, vanishing into the darkness that is her life.
