There exists a place within me
Where my memories intertwine

Dancing and embracing
They entrance my wayward mind

Their soft whispers of nostalgia
****** my long lost soul

As they barricade the memories
That fuel my sorrow so
Caitlin Jan 2021
Between
acceptance and denial
I teeter as I dream

Paralyzed by choices
At neither I succeed

Fear secretes the poison
That puts my mind at ease

That this is all I need
Deserving nothing but to dream
Caitlin Jan 2021
Words are symbols
Used to explain things we don’t really understand

Our comprehension behind these words are undeveloped
Our interpretation of these symbols are not unified

Letters are loose shapes
Holding looser thoughts together

Rationality is an equation

Reality:
Just an agreed upon perception
Caitlin Nov 2020
We’re born half formed
From jumbled DNA
Mailable and morphing
Like unhardened clay

We bend but we break
We stretch until we crack

We’re flexible and pliable
Until we’re rigid in our tract
Caitlin Nov 2020
It crawls through you
Nestling deep inside
Chipping away at your will
Gnawing through your mind
You erupt with anger
Frustration bubbles in your core
You can’t stand it
You can’t stand anything anymore
Because it’s always a struggle
Always a half beaten fight
It’s the constant lull of anxiety
The never ending fright
You’re living but you’re dying
Forever in between
Neither one or the other
A half living being
Caitlin Aug 2020
My stomaches a knot
Made of anxiety ridden thread
My heads a mess
An awful place where shame entices dread
Caitlin Jun 2020
I'm forever falling
Never reaching the ground
With nothing to grab onto
No end to be found
