The world feels strange, cold, and distant a million miles away with no intent to stay Th world feels cloudy, fuzzy, and intrusive Aggravated and agitated Tired and restless moving too quick yet frustratingly slow The heart beat of the earth comes and goes Waves splash and retract Building back together after falling apart I stare vacantly at the ocean a piece of art Emitting vibrations like ancient wind chimes Reconstruction as my mind rewinds It’s strange how your view of the world will shift and change Molded to fit a standard that’s been prearranged Strange how your values twist and contort No longer a decision but a last resort

In my own world
I'm floating above and watching when did the sky darken? when did I stop paying attention? when will I come back down?

Floating
My pretty little bumble bees Follow be around Somewhere close by they are always found They never stray Even when I die My body put to lay My pretty little bumble bees Will watch me decay Not for the right reasons part of me believes Grief comes in seasons But for them it won’t They committed treason Their loyalty set in the security I provide Not in who I am deep inside I treated them well But even I know I never really liked them They were just for show So go love a different flower Sniff some different trees I wish you all the best My pretty little bumble bees

My Pretty little Bumble Bees
It’s dark- but for now it’s light I blame it on the lightning strike It flashes so big and oh so bright Then all at once it’s out of sight

How did Emily Dickinson do it Make her poems sound so natural Did it come to her like breathing Or like a craft she had to master A life in solitude but a life with a head full of tragic poetry u amaze me you crazy elegant catastrophe

How did she do it?
my birthday is just days away but I really wish it wasn't I want to wrap it up like a present that I want to open but mustn't I just want it to stay where it is like a heavy stone in a rapid river that never drifts and in another season when I'm ready i'll open up my gift

I hate her I hate how she’s a clumsy bubbling river of awkward I hate how she’s so overweight and entitled I hate how she’s so overrated and so hated I hate how she doesn’t listen and is so defensive and hateful Her nose is so long and covered in acne She’s let herself go at just thirteen Being around her is just depressing I don’t want her in my life But every time I try I’m too scared But most of all I hate how she’s me

I vs I
when you spin the world spins too a swirly mess of colors and hues vibrant blues and greens that dance across a stage long silk ribbons of blonde hair cry out from their cage yellow pearls sprinkled on a green blurry mass “slow down” screams the landscape “can’t” you laugh “ I’m going too fast!”

at least the earth will always spin
Come with me Come leave the world behind to the people that can save it Why endure this any longer when we can’t change it Why do we continue to weigh it down with our mediocre livings Fly high Fly far Where you can love who you are

I don’t want to go alone
Remember back when we were friends It seems so long ago You have moved on and I have sorrow I wish we didn’t have so many loose ends I want to see your name on my phone I’m tired of being empty and alone
