Overexposure

Keep chewing the flavour out of your food
'til you forget why you took the first bite.
Keep wallowing in your sorrowful mood
'til your dark completely devours your light.

Keep singing along to that same sad song
'til its words and messages lose meaning.
Keep convincing yourself your friends are wrong
'til they give up helpfully intervening.

Keep doodling on the margins of your page
'til all of the ink from your pen runs dry.
Keep spending all the contents of your wage
'til there is nothing left for you to buy.

Stop wearing down all that you love like their toys,
there is a battery life to your joys.
