Untitled

I thought I was ok
but then the rest of the world fell away

I'm here... still
sitting in the silence... still
no one hears or here to comfort... still
my one companion dragged down, while I fall up
and I sit here... still
I wish I knew... I love... still

Anxiety Crawling

Anxiety why do you crawl into my mind with me?
And cloud my vision and every little thing I see?

Don’t you know you’re not welcome here.
Maybe this time you’ll leave my mind and never reappear.

What’s your hollow?

Do you lead?
Or do you follow?
Or just get pulled through the hollows
Of your life

Emmett Mar 2020

Will the morning bird sing?

I flit through life on tattered broken wings.
Never able to stay afloat until the morning bird sings.

Respite: Sleep

Goodnight
Sleep tight
I wish I will, I hope I might
leave tomorrow better then tonight

Sleep well loves
I hope your day is full of joy and if not that’s ok.
You are loved.

Gargling Salt Water

Fleeing to a flood of drowning tears
That’s what a day feels like my loves, my dears

Why Numb?

Numbness
to cry and go unheard
what a strange idea
unheard by your own little mind-bird

Numbness
A feeling so complete
It removes all competition
and your eyes from the heat

Numbness
Yes it really is quite jealous
A nasty quiet *****
unfortunately for you, it's really just the preface
