Jellyfish Sep 2017
I still long to go to California,
I want to see that place.
The jellyfish filled space in Monterey
I want to touch the tank's glass
and see the sea nettles up close.
I want to be there
and know that I'm home.

For the first time in a long while,
it seems I'm going to sleep
without being upset about something.

I can tell, you're pushing me out.
You're growing tired of having me around.
It's obvious and makes me feel as though
I could just drown...
I never thought the day would come
when you'd want me out.
I don't know if I can do it.

I feel bad about the moods I've been in.
I've noticed you're trying
which makes me smile again.

Everything is so heavy,
and it's hard to stay sleeping
(at least during the night,)
I lay awake reading,
absolutely anything that I can find.
To keep my mind occupied...
and I'm sorry.
Laying awake here until I can't think anymore is how I get to sleep now. I don't want to remember the things that my mind brings up while I'm trying to sleep. So I keep myself thinking about anything else, until my eyes hurt so much, that I can't count anymore. I want to tell you all about it but it's hard. Why can't we just forget the things we don't want to remember?

It's finally getting cold again,
and I won't have to worry
about the sweater I'm in.

I took the Christmas lights down,  
they're really out of season.
My room is always dark now,
it makes me feel kind of barren.
Jellyfish Sep 2017
I want to hide my face and cry,
I'm tired of no one understanding why.
I bluntly say what's on my mind
and yet you say that I've lost my mind.
Nothing will change, because really
my feelings don't matter.
