Honestly...
what am I doing here?
Here,
in this world,
in this life?
I’m tired of helping people
tired of doing things
tired of life
I’m just so tired
I’m tired of numbing the pain...
I don’t want to talk
Think
Breathe
See
Hear
Feel...
Feeling overwhelmed
Feeling o v e r w h e l m e d
F e e l i n g o v e r w h e l m e d
Feeling out of breath
Feeling like giving up
Feeling depressed
Feeling like quitting
Feeling like breaking down
Feeling like the world is spinning so fast
And it needs to slow down
Feeling like I need more
Out of life
Out of this empty world
Wishing I could erase my mistakes
Wishing the biggest mistake wasn’t me
Always wishing
Always hoping
Always feeling too much
Always too little or too much
Never just enough
Never good enough

when things work out perfectly,
it's always too good to be true,
my destiny was to be unlucky
& **** up everything i do,
no matter how hard i try,
i always do something wrong,
over my shoulder
people are watching,
telling me
i can't do anything at all
so what the **** is the point
of everything,
if fate says
i'm capable of nothing...

send me a lifeline
the world is on fire
i need to go back in time
please believe me, this is dire
let me erase the chaos
& return to a world
where everything is fine
& things aren't in constant decline
why do things keep falling apart
it can't be good for the heart
i wish i could press restart
i'd give anything
for a chance
to reset this life

cold feet beneath the sheets
i close my eyes & try to breathe...
it's 3am & i'm dreaming of who i used to be
before everything fell apart around me
my life is a mess of regrets
& reasons to stay in bed
i still can't escape the voices inside my head
(louder) they're getting louder now
i try to scream, but there's no sound
no one can save me from my anxiety
so i try to sleep but the voices follow
the nightmares become harder to swallow
& i wake up feeling more hollow
just to have it happen all over again tomorrow...

i had a dream
that i died
out if the blue
i wasn't alive,
& they drew
my chalk outline
with pink chalk
on the sidewalk
where my body lied,
delicately draped
across grey pavement
& through the cracked cement
a single yellow dandelion
appeared, in full bloom

lately i've felt: d e t a c h e d
from our empty society
i've been avoiding
my own mortality
is there anyone who can help me?
i'm still not me,
can't you see?
i'm just trapped
on the other side
of this augmented reality,
on the edge of insanity,
i think i got lost
trying to figure out
who i'm supposed to be

i often find myself
devoid of the moment...
((( this moment )))
momentary in its passing
yet nearly fatal in its crashing
when did it become so difficult
to avoid an escape?
an exit from reality
from which we disconnect so easily
is anything real?
we're all searching
for a new way to feel
something
else

trigger warning:
i'm a wanderer
though most of my travels
occur inside the confines
of my chaotic mind
*i wouldn't recommend you follow
because i will leave you behind*
tell me
have you ever gotten lost
in your own mind?
i cannot remember
what i was trying to find
perhaps
i've lost it.

all alone in a crowded room
claustrophobia consumes
as i'm uncomfortably surrounded
by strangers
with friendly faces,
ultimately unfamiliar
yet seemingly displaced
from this blur of insanity
they pass as our reality
where are we?
i am searching for familiarity
in an unfamiliar place
trying to find
a familiar face

salt on the streets
like salt in the wounds
of cracked, suburban sidewalks
swelling with trampled memories
of a forgotten yesterday
imagine a world far away
from the chaos of the everyday
won’t you come outside & play?
(everything is gonna be okay)
the world is a snow globe,
shake it up
& let's watch it explode
cut me up like a paper snowflake,
did you feel the Earth shake?
