Madness

Never
apologize
for feeling too
recklessly,

the greatest lessons
are
always
learned
through

Madness
Madness
Speeding through red blurs,
drowning in the smell of espresso,
the new car smell that’s 3 years old,
getting soaked by the lack of rain,
drenched by the sun.
Held down by the speed,
so slow, oh no,
a phrase unspoken,
a life that’s broken,
I just want to learn more.

I want to go faster,
I want to go slow,
I want to learn more,
about you,
more than anyone knows.
O.K
transaction incomplete
our two hearts couldn’t meet.
I started to think that we were fine,
now you’re not mine.
I hope it doesn’t last forever
that much, is true.
*i can’t get over me, i can’t stop loving you
O.K
I’ve lost everything
I will break my own heart
just fine
thank you

I am a heartbreaker
don't
you
know that?


thousands of hearts
and each of them mine
every time

every night
I will break my own heart
now


maybe I should
break my own heart
now


I am the heartbreaker
Watch as I go

she says
for once
‘I don’t want to be the poet
but the poem’
and I felt that
February 4th~han
constant paranoia
sleepless nights
bustling hospital halls

trust me
this is nothing less than horrific
after attempting to end it all

"take me home"
i whisper to no one
through my silent tears

staying in a psych ward
for just one week
felt like several years

all i can do
is worry
about if anyone will care

i think they believe
that they would be better off
if i was no longer there

my week in the hospital
was heart-wrenchingly
bleak

everyone says
it made me stronger
but i feel immensely weak
i apologize for pouring my heart out. but it's very therapeutic.
•••

half-illuminated day,

are you raining, i wonder



the blank space stretches

between the windowsill and me





even through the curtains,

when there is sun, it feels so sure.

why is its absence obvious

any less so?
