Seekers

Squeeze wide eyes shut
Chest burning hot cold
Feeling so -but

Who to tell about it
Say defeatist, leave alone
And you sit -

On the bed
Eyes wide shut
Wish you were dead?

Life is the lottery
Had a ticket for so long
Why is it such a hint less story?

Get up, leave with jacket and sneakers
Pound through the streets
Fuelled by the burning
With all the other seekers.
