Icarus flew too close to the sun.
A short mistake and he was done.

I flew too close to myself.
And fell like a book from a shelf.

The page that opened showed the stupid boy,
in his last moment of blinding joy.

Within me it is dark,
Only sometimes there´s a spark.

From someone flying with me,
Over an endless sea.

I wish I could have met him,
felt his sunburned skin.

Maybe then, I would have known,
That I am not alone,

When writing of the pain I dealt,
And all the hurt I felt.

Icarus like a foolish dove,
Knows how it is to love.

Are you okay?
For another day?
Another fight?
Another flight?

Can you make it through?
Even though,
You are you.

I am awake
Headphones over my ears
Blasting music into my brain
Everyone else asleep

Do I feel lonely?
No, I do not.
Because someone keeps me company
Through their distorted thoughts.
I hope anyone awake enough is enjoying some peace and quiet at the dead of night.

You gave me your headphones
So I would not be alone.

So no one would speak to me
On my way home.

Sleeping is hard

When you are always in a dream.
When you never wake up.

I have disappeared into myself,
Into a mirror of my own.

My life disappearing into an endless void.
A void of possibility, of promise.

Why can´t I stay within my walls?
My walls of sleep.

Sleeping is hard

I cannot eat this.
Eat.
If I would, I´d feel like puking.
Eat.
I don´t like the texture, or the taste.
Eat.
I am not even feeling hungry. Not that I ever do.
Eat.
I don´t like the color and form.
Eat.
It is mushy and weird.
Eat.
The thought alone makes me sick.
Eat.
I do not want to eat this.
Eat.
I will feel sick.
Eat.
I cannot eat this.
Eat.
Felt like writing about my relationship with food I guess.

Did you disappear into words?
I did and I can
Tell you
It is great.

To not be anymore.
To be
Without a soul
Without a body.

I like being a part of
Words
The void
The abyss
The dark
The emptiness
The nothing

To be without mind and worry
Is my endless dream.
