i need to drive away
i need to get out
i need to explore
i need to experience
i need to scratch a never-ending itch
i need to pop the bubble
i need to be free
but i can’t
i have been tossed into a sea of the thickest honey
i have been stitched into the fabric itself
i have been locked in a cold metal box
i have been thrown into the ocean with a weight
i have been stabbed and cut into pieces
i have been drowning for years
i have been strangled every second of every day
i am suffocating

i don’t belong here
its like a box
slowly growing smaller
and encroaching my mind
its like an entire lifetime of sugar and fast food
waiting to fill my arteries
and suppressing my blood and bones
its like a chaotic muddle of yarn
tangled around me
and suffocating my soul
its killing me
but its also killing you
i keep wishing for the adventure
filling the time with inevitable annoyance
and trying to forget, like they all say
you see my unhappiness
and try to fix it,
try to fill the voids of unhappiness
but it can’t be fixed
because i don’t belong here
because its killing me
because its killing you

Take someone
far away,
take them on a journey
through more than words,
but by their absence.
or at least
that's what we all
wish.
See,
Words put a box,
a name,
on feelings
on emotions
that deserve
to be free.

I know what I need to say
but I don't have the time,
the energy,
or the words
to say it

Why does everyone focus
so intently
on the monetary value
as if nothing else
mattered?

with so much given
comes an unexpected addition -
stress-giving,
anxiety ridden,
pressure inducing -
upholding the expectations
and surpassing them
to make everyone else's efforts
worth it

It's not about you
escaping life.
It's about not letting
life escape
you.

life is full
of snap decisions
that change the course of history-
most aren't even conscious
just natural alterations-
your future
all depends
on these minuscule verdicts
and everyone around's
all you have to do
is choose the correct
sequence of decisions
in the sea of selections

So much strain
comes from the confinement
children and young adults face
but the only solution people have
are either more boxes
or shame and isolation.
How can there be no solution?
How can there be no life
for those who are tired
of waiting in boxes?
The earth is made
and intended
to be our oyster,
but we have drained all sea
for the oyster to live in.
The world is not an oyster,
it is merely the shell.
It is the lie told
to eat the food you don't like.
It is the diet soda
eatings its way through you.

The feeling, the burning sensation
decomposes my spirit to crumbs
leaving a hard exterior shell,
a parasite taking over my body
and leaving only the remnants
to be discovered too late.
