21/F/The Netherlands my own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery- always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring, and then burried in mud. and why? what's this passion for? - Virginia Woolf
I’ve got a vague idea of an OK world hidden behind the ruins of time waiting to be discovered longing for me to knock on it’s gates thrilled to shower me with rays of sunshine the scents so soft the sounds so comforting I can’t help but exhale it tucks me in with a blanket of stars makes sure the moon kisses me goodnight it takes care of all that’s living and in-between it takes care of me when I can’t I’ve got a vague idea of an OK world if only I knew where it was hidden

an OK world
in that fuzzy place between loving and letting go reaching for the door intending to walk out but refusing to detangle you from my thoughts so I stay in the fuzzy place hoping that someone pulls me back / hoping that someone opens the door I haven’t decided

between loving and letting go
I had a dream that I don’t remember I remember feeling like I was floating high above the world crossing seas and jungles joining the butterflies surrounded by a cloud of black and orange they carry me towards the mountains where I leave the kaleidoscope to be by myself in my safe space at peace but I also remember feeling like I was falling further and further down past the birds the towers and the trees hurtling towards the ground I brace myself for the crash that never came because when peek through my eyelashes I am surrounded by a cloud of black and orange slowly guiding me towards the ground their wings softly graze my skin comforting me until I land delicately on my feet taking a deep breath I am home I am safe I am at peace

I had a dream that I don't remember
lights flicker in the distance far far below I’m here looking down on it all wrapped in a blanket a book lies next to me pages flipping themselves in the cool summer breeze inside are the sounds of life outside are the sounds of the questioning the air is filled with random notes fluttering around me like guardian angels I know why they’re here darkness sat down next to me to keep me company we look at the flickering lights in the distance he tells me you’d do fine down there if you wanted to be a light surrounded by light but then he shifts his gaze the moonlight dancing through his being but you’d do great up there be a light where no one has dared to be and with that he left

when darkness sat down next to me
trapped in this world kept on the ground no way up I want to leave this organized chaos swim in uncertainty bathe in silence wash away the stress that clings to my skin free my mind from the noise which keeps me from seeing I want to fly with the falling stars count the colors of the rainbow help the sun paint the sky and I want to befriend the stars play games forget that life is hard but here I am my feet stuck to the ground

bubbles popping rain dropping time stopping thoughts speeding mind bleeding I am dreading where I’m heading words slurring vision blurring time stopped

when time stopped
rip your eyes away from your phone and look with an open mind like you’ve never actually seen unfiltered view notice the sunrise which is different each day like it’s no big deal look at the people walking by imagine them living their own life changing every day trapped in their own heads looking without seeing will destroy us hearing without listening might **** someone

LOOK OUT THE WINDOW
my camera tries to capture all that you are and fails because you are so much more than a photograph you are fluid you are sound you are fireworks so you can't be captured you need to be experienced

who
her eyes were black no trace of white around and I always wondered what they reflected did they reflect her soul her endless soul full of mysteries hidden in the depth concealed by her only for her to see or were they a reflection of what has been and what will inevitably be the beginning and the end of time I lost myself never to be found
