Overtime

You're just exhausted. Delirious. Is it worth it?

Crystallized mind behind these 

tired eyes

Victim of the slightest sporadic 

surprise

Blinding white streaks of

cHaOtIc CoNfUsIoN

Across the screen of

my static vision

Distorted violation of

*prickling crackles*

Once-gathered thoughts reel

forward and back

Collections disrupted and

s c a t t e r e d throughout

Straining to grasp solidity

through the ?doubt?

Am I working to live? Or

LIVING TO WORK

Depletion of the hopeful heart

the purpose of my birth

Author's Note

Do the different fonts and font sizes add to this piece or take away from it? Is it overly distracting?

the fonts work i think...
they always make me think more
about what the poet is trying to convey
but honestly they always make it feel more
feminine to me... which isn't bad- but depends what you are going for

in this instance scattered seems too evenly spaced unless you are going for a juxtaposition there...

ahhh the conundrum of work and life- almost like the whole thing better without the last part...

it's mysterious and more ambiguous that way.

Thank you so much. The pointers are gold. I'd been chewing on this one awhile and needed some perspective.
