Afraid  to take chances, criticizing from a comfort zone,
so eager to protest for false ideas and all we ask is
how we've come to this unable to make a
transgression.
Chained to this fate falling to our dreams
it's insanity, a reality full of hypocrisy.

She is pure, she is genuine;
her thoughts a spiraling vortex of curiosity and imagination

She believes elation is marveling the majestic qualities in all of life's intrinsic manifestations

Enthralled as the sun dances on the tips of blue sapphires strewn across the earth; she feels small gazing the endless horizon in which the sea meets the sky

She leans against the breeze and in this moment she is weightless soaring as far away as the winds will carry her

As the sun slowly tucks away to slumber, and the air begins to cool fireflies take flight and she is dazzled by the hovering night lights flickering about

Bathing in the moons luminescence  as it cloaks the earth;
She finds serenity beneath the scintillating gemstones hung in the nocturnal sky; seeking its most irradiant solitaire

It is in these sublime moments she is happy, she is free

People pitty my lack of rest
But they know why i  don't even wink.
What if you came to find me,
And passed me by just cuz i blinked?

Almost Alone

I'm alone,
Nobody around to hear my soft cries,
I hope for hospitality,
All I receive is brutality,
Help,
Somebody must care,
I'm broken and it's not fair,
All I need is a caring hand,
I bury my head into the sand,
It will be easier that way,
Because nobody seemed to care yesterday nor today,

I'm a fraction away from insanity,
Crushed heart in need of help for vanity,
I beg for attention,
Yet I receive nothing but rejection.
Just something I wrote about people who suffer with depression. I wanted to express how they can feel, despite people showing they care, however, they will never truly know. The title represents how they're not alone "almost alone" but they believe they are!

"don't panic,"* i scream,
stumbling over my own
feet like how i often do when i'm
drunk.

don't go," i yell,
my voice hoarse against the pouring
rain like how it often is when i'm
crying.

but then i wake up, twisting my
hair between my fingers, drenched in
sweat from another all too realistic
dream.

it's an odd time to be an actress.
my role: human walking.
one foot in front of the other, but
it feels like i'm floating,
left above myself to watch
helplessly,

the tragedy that is someone else's life; except

it isn't someone else.

it's me.
