21/F/Guyana I write for you, and for me.
My throat constricts, Im fighting against myself, There is no enemy, It was just me. My pillow is soaked, The rain did not drip through the roof tonight where it usually does, It was just me. It was just me, At midnight, Hushed, I hate this, They run, and run, and run.

Run
I love mundanity, We are so simple, So easy and joyful, I can tell you about the weather, And you can tell me about the woman you saw walk by today, We can go on like this forever, Happy I loathe mundanity, We are so difficult, Hard to please, Never at ease, I tell you of the war, You turn your head away, We can go on like this forever, In ignorant bliss.

Small Talk
Tell me I can't do it, Tell me I won't make it to the end of the line, That my dreams are foolish, That my hopes for the world are too great, Tell me you hate me, Or you love me, Or merely tolerate me, Make your critique Believe me, I'll stay up thinking what you said, What i said If I do find it in me to fall asleep, It won’t matter, You come in dreams, There is no escape.
