Laying awake my body floats
It’s spinning and twirling out of control
It quickly speeds up and then it slows
As a figure appears in my room
“Come with me, my friend
Adventure is what you need”
I take the girl’ s hand and she pulls me from my trance
Everything becomes bright
My walls turn into a meadow, and my floor into luscious grass
My ceiling melts into a sky with fluffy clouds and a yellow sun
The stranger and I run through the flowers and fight beasts of different kinds
Tall, short, black and red
But every journey has its end, and ours is coming to a close
I must return home before my mother finds me gone
I am brought back to my room and left alone
And I dream a wonderful dream, yet without the friend I met that night
I don’t know how, what happened, or why the light stayed
But the girl saved me from the evil inside my brain

As if into paper
The ink seems to seep in
Into my skin
Deeper and deeper

The ink forms the words
I shall never forget
Even if I tried
To wipe the ink away

It seeps deeper day after day

At first, it's fine
I shrug it off
I laugh along
At their joke

Soon it burns
Burns my skin
Burns my being
Burns within

The only emotions
That come forth
Are sadness
And anger

I try to communicate
But they laugh it off
Pick up the ink
And write, and write, again

I think but cannot speak
I feel but cannot express
I try to write down my whole being
But it always comes out in a twist

I fail to write
I fail to speak
I fail to try my best
To talk to anybody

My words are jumbled, as well as my brain
The poems and pictures come out just the same
I don't know how to help myself
Get these emotions out

800 miles and more texts than I can count
1 day online and the memories it would amount
A sleepless night spent together
Even though our distance caused different weather

I love you, so much, more than you'll ever know
If my parents weren't so upset about the internet, I would see you now
Even with our troubles, tears and the dumb crap we may say
I won't ever leave your side, even 800 miles away.
