20/M/Texas Poetry is my anchor to reality. Writing is my internal body becoming external.
I am coming. Traveling the current, while facing backward. Watching the world change every moment. Feeling the wind of past storms. But I, am coming. Taller than the tide, but shorter than the fish. I'm a pebble in this abyss. Without food or water. But I am coming. This place is still. As I see no land, no water. Only the sky, mixing the colors. And I am coming You're close, I can see it. A light moving in circles. The light stopped, opposite to me. But I am here. It's dark. Time has halted, freezing my ocean. I am here. Where are you?

One Day
I saw it A figure the size of me filled with the empty black injecting a pricing screech that pushed me further in my bed I can't move as it is looking at me, and through me the sounds are getting louder tickling my eardrum I close my eyes and open to see it climb the walls I close my eyes again and wake.

in and out
What tribe are you from? I can only see your legs and arms Colors are dying through your eyes bringing neon light and tilted skies I cant see and can't speak of your beautiful physique Blinded by the wonder words you say to put me right asleep I wake without sight truly blinded by you

Alien
I cross the ocean for you only for my ship to sink not by fire or cannon but by the simple toll of waiting decay I feel the water squeezing my chest replacing my air with your water pushing into my system that was never mine

Expedition
The universe is beyond our eyes and ears close all and you will hear and see.

Beyond
You and i were there Watching as our worlds crash down We repaired them No, We repaired yours And let mine burn down in the ashes But that was enough for you You let me freeze Time stopped Nothing moved Until you pressed play On my life Then I lifted your world And you left me in the cold, again I tried to call out I needed help I needed you But you didn't care as much you said you do And went on with your new life One of many Next time your world will crash down I'm not helping you lift it You'll be alone Frozen Like me

Replacement
The Blackbird protects me. It sits on my chest Talks to me And tells me To float The Bird helps me fight The wars It helps me find peace And when there is none It tells me to float Then it leaves Melts with the shadows Of the corners I am alone now Desperate for air My lungs shrink My heart beats My head sinks And I Let go Lay down Drain. And float.

Float
There are times i'm just too tired to think too tired to care too tired to love it's just the human inside of me, pushing the walls burning itself out just like the rest of you

Human
everything counts, so everything matters everything is a bet, and a sacrifice.
