I have lost that love I had for photography
which is ironic
since, I know I'm better at it
as in, I'm better at pressing the button
at the right time
on the right setting
but I don't feel like it
I look at my camera strap and see a dead weight on my neck
horrible, but true
it used to be my escape, but now it's a chore
and I need to refind that mindset, so I'm trying
I'm going to escort my camera everywhere. Not in its bag this time
but out, around my neck,
and I'm going to take photos
capture the energy of the school play
capture the ennui of the everyday
and fingers crossed I won't end up breaking something.
(Like a leg, or a camera)
