easier that way

face down
i can't see
look to my hands
the disaster before me

tattered pants
the man with a can
his sign says
he was a vet

my face is down
i can't see

i walk into things
it is easier that way

blinded by my fear of the truth
i am amused by kitten videos
and snapchat bear faces
distracted and angry
about the presidential races

my head is down
staring at my phone
i'd rather not see
to tell the truth

it hurts to much
so I look at my screen

i miss the sound
of your voice

how it feels to
sit next to someone
and have a
conversation

but that can be hard,
you see
being real and all

so I look down
it is easier that way
