sometimes
I wake up and can't shake the feeling
the feeling when you're at the fair
slowly going up a roller coaster
teetering at the top

or the flutter you get at the pit of your stomach
butterflies eager to leave and
confess
your love?

little aches and pains
pizzicato my body
origin unknown
and unwilling to leave

I can't shake
the feeling that
that I'm forgetting something
that
I have to finish by tomorrow and I can't rest until I do because then who knows what will happen and the unknown is scary and
uncertain?

no
maybe it's all in my head.

yes
the doctors say
it's all in my head.
feeling like this rn lol... also wow haven't written a poem in years

Crystal waves crash
against the sandy beaches
you sit down
to watch the once radiant sun
hide from the world
as if ashamed
the skies turn pink and purple
everything starts to quiet down
and once again
you're left alone

My life is a flood
The rain comes out of my eyes
An falls onto land
Doesn't stop
Soon, it overflows
My emotions are too big for my heart
I can't hold it in
It covers the land
Inch by inch
Swallowing people up
Getting everything wet
That's usually dry
All you do is avoid me
And run away
But all I need
Is a hug
Until at last
I drown

Shaking
Screaming
Running
Trapped
