20/Non-binary I got to thinking that poems were like people. Some people you got right off the bat. Some people you just didn't get--and never would get. / Benjamin Alire Sáenz
the need to feel hands on me on my mind, not my body (never my body) the longing to become one to beat as one heart, to exhale as you do, to inhale as you do, would you stop breathing, just to hurt me? would you open my ribcage, crawl inside, just to feel safe? would you delight from my pain? feel it echo in you and shiver. or would you shield me from it? I know I wouldn't mind everything you put me through good or bad if it meant I could have someone else living with me inside my head

a swirling mass of thoughts a feeling of incompletion and a sense of no direction spending nights awake letting consciousness fade and all days go to waste held in a stasis waiting for my catharsys

stasis
swaying side to side trapped in this lullaby frozen in time the winds are cold as ice like the fog in the sky with no end in sight not feeling fine but happy to fly in this melancholic state of mind

the poets are dead they say loud and clear so everybody can hear and let sink in the dread the poets are dead they whisper in hidden so the words can stricken and let it charge ahead the poets are dead i think to myself the poets are dead the poets are dead and as long as i can tell the poets are dead

breaking news
Saltwater rushes over warm sands, refreshing the heat. I part the ocean with my hands while trying not to weep. This memory; so sweet, so far away, so faded, my last good memory. Winds still bring the ocean breeze to me wherever I be and warm tears rushes over cheeks.

The Sea
I long for love. Don't we all? But this is different, I don't want to be loved. I want to love. Isn't that the same thing? No. To be loved is to perceived, to be known, to be seen, to be held. I don't want any of those things, I'm terrified of that. To love is to perceive, to know, to see, to hold. I want all of those things, I ache for that. But to have one, you need the other. Then, I'd rather have none.

I hate the city, all the noises all the smells, the heat scattering through the asphalt and making me choke. I hate the futurists, God I hate them, stupid as they were, thinking the city had something great to give them, thinking the noise, the heat, the pain, the screams, the sweat, the feeling of a thousand bodies packed together, had some love to give them. At least they were constant in their thoughts, in where their loyalties lie. Not like me, I'm like water, mutable, never in one place and never feeling the same way. I make noise too, but it's not loud, it's a murmur a tiny thing that you could miss if you weren't paying enough attention. I'm cool, refreshing, the sun tries to touch me but it can never warm all my extremities. I'm also alone, like a stream tucked away in a hidden corner of a forgotten forest. I could never be as big as the ocean, as demanding, as present and imposing, and I don't want to. It's simple really, it's the law of nature: I'm small, cool and quiet therefore I hate everything that is big, warm and loud. Opposites do not attract, that's the ugliest lie ever told. God, I hate the futurists

Opposites
nothing compares to a breath of fresh air, although i can only feel it in dreams, for my reality is filled with despair. i wish i could see you my love, know you my love, but you too can only be found while i wander the oniric expanses of my mind as flimsy as the air i seek and needed as such forever out of reach and never mine to keep
