There comes a time where I feel everything,
Cold air's sting,
The bend of my ring,
My breathing,
Movements I make,
Along with my slight shake,
With each breath I take,
Regulating myself,
Wrapping up my feelings on the shelf,
Containing everything,
Refusing to let my voice sing,
Words so familiar they are the only ones I know,
Making me have the urge to just go,
Not with the flow,
Just get out and move,
Take the step out my door,
Everything will be alright then,
I'm sure,
Then when I take that step,
I am aware,
The cold in the air,
Wind that whips hair in my face leaving a sting,
Hearing birds sing,
Feeling everything around me,
Being aware,
Quietly and thoughtfully,
Wondering why I ever gave everything up.
Soft whispers,
Floating in the air,
Knowing that someone is there,
A quiet soft stare,
Most gentle voices carry me to sleep,
Moving from ear to ear,
Erasing my fear,
A few times bringing a quiet tear,
Falling into a normal routine,
Sleeping nightly to the voices of strangers,
A screen removing all the dangers,
Slipping into a comfortable tingle,
The static of silence broken by the kind voice,
Relaxed by an unconscious choice,
Floating into a state new to me,
Calmly free,
Aware of everything that is there,
Knowing that I demand the quiet,
A quiet that is never violent,
Keeping me safe broken by one voice,
My calming choice.
Let me just add a note, this was about ASMR. Which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and I really like it so have a little bit of writing.
For the first time,
I'm trying too hard to rhyme,
Pushed by influences,
General curiosity,
The severity impact,
My mind fully in tact,
I am still myself,
Yet I do not look like me,
I thought of my skin I wanted to be free,
Somehow I found that to not be true,
Leading me to know exactly what to do,
Rubbing at my face,
Not caring about possible grace,
I could not see me,
The thing staring back at me was not what I was used to,
Not a bad experience,
An eye opener,
Finding the thing I needed was...nothing,
No change,
All rubbed off now,
So I stare,
At the face now there,
Fixing my hair,
Realizing that I was entirely in that moment,
There was nothing new still the old,
And yet it looked so different,
Normal,
Informal,
The way it always is,
I thought it was what I wanted,
When it really wasn't,
I saw myself for how I really looked,
Not wanting the appointment that was booked,
Though it was needed,
There was no need to have to go so far.
So believe it or not this was about my first make up experience. A strange, but needed thing.
It hits you,
Figuring out what is true,
Exactly what you need to do,
Managing time,
Money,
Resources,
Nothing new,
It is pretty much all humans do,
It hurts,
Realizing all that what you loved and got you excited were lies,
You're being irrational over those flies,
Just stop crying,
What is your problem?
There is nothing to worry about.
Wrong.
There are so many things,
To cry about,
To lie about,
To scream about,
We do what we must,
Even if we fall to strategically placed dust,
Lost little creatures,
Accepting tiny new features,
As excuses,
Mental truces,
Formed out of necessity,
Breaking promises to yourself,
Coming to terms with who you are,
Settling for a self provided star,
It might look weird,
That is nothing to be feared,
It makes me sane,
Even if it is in vain,
I try and do what I can,
To ignore the parts I hate about who I am,
That is how I live,
Or exist at the very least,
I am both beauty and the beast,
Two of my many sides,
Each one a different ride,
For specific times,
Some just for rhymes,
As though it reaches,
Or even teaches,
Trying to show what I learned,
Dealing with everything I yearned for,
Waiting for what is in store,
Wanting to disappear alone on a shore,
And at the same time wanting to be here,
Living in mild fear,
Over just about everything,
Most of all when voices ring,
Loudly and softly in the depths of my mind,
Wanting me to make the find,
Let it enter my thoughts,
Blurring it like too many shots,
Forget that though,
Remember to breathe,
Don't let anyone hear it,
Or you'll have more problems,
With even less to solve them with.
Slip down,
Don't frown,
It is better than it may sound,
You were the one I found,
Royalty you were crowned,
It was soft and slow,
That was the flow,
No real need to go,
Your feelings would show,
The ones you weren't willing to stow,
I fell for you,
We could all see it was true,
Now all you had to do,
Was fall for me.
I took a leap,
Turns out I fell in a heap,
Not like it matters,
It just made me sadder,
I was told to call,
So I took the fall,
There was no way to stall,
Just a broken answering machine,
No voice to greet me,
Except a fake one,
I thought I had a sun,
Finally a nice someone,
Yet again,
I only have a half friend,
And an angry message to send,
Nothing to say,
As I drift softly away,
Slowly I start to sway,
Then I'm gone,
Like the end of a song,
The last cord struck,
Fading into silence,
Nothing new,
Sad and true.
Fold after fold,
On paper my ink was sold,
Words I was told,
Through words in a song,
My resolve became strong,
So I folded,
Making paper hearts,
Trying to replace the one I lost,
73 hearts is not enough,
So I fold more,
Hoping just to restore,
The heart dropped on the floor,
I'm not keeping score,
(Twice the heart hit the ground)
So I went to a different sound,
Words that I found,
Inking letters on heart after heart,
Hoping to give mine a jump start,
To no avail,
The love was stale,
I lost time,
Creating things
That left no stings,
It is a pleasant surprise,
Like a sunrise,
Something I rarely see,
Since I am me,
Falling asleep under inked words,
Carefully laid on crafted hearts,
And sticker stars,
The real ones are much to far,
Hidden behind fog,
So here I am,
Song after song,
Folding my heart to repair,
Up I stare,
At folded hearts and sticker stars.
Stop.
Those ten digits will get you in trouble,
Double the power to get thoughts across,
Maybe the meaning will be lost,
It was a possibly deadly cost,
Life is an expensive thing,
From that shiny ring,
To the phone that will ping,
Or watching someone sing,
It all costs,
Ignore that,
Stop the words on the screen,
They appear with emotion,
Sometimes they show devotion,
Others things are difficult to get through,
No way to know what is true,
Maybe you think you do,
Or you are lying to yourself,
Stop those fingers from flying across the keys,
It could bring someone to their knees,
Make people fall like leaves from trees,
Ten fingers do so much more than ever before.
Today I got a message,
From a stranger,
There was no danger,
I was behind a screen,
It was my choice to talk,
A fake persona to rock,
A different version of myself,
A piece I pull off the shelf,
Responding to word after word,
My fingers fly like a bird,
Smooth and without mistake,
It is not hard to be mildly fake,
Showing a side most do not view,
Maybe this is a side too.
No bright lights,
No waiting fights,
No goodnights,
Just nothing,
I said the last thing,
It made it through the internet,
Lighting up the other screen,
This must have been seen,
With all the signs of waiting messages,
Little red things with numbers,
Not hard to miss,
Maybe there is no care,
I thought it was there,
Now I just stare,
And think of what I want to say,
Maybe I should just go away,
Yet I need a place to stay,
The screen is my home,
My words on your phone,
Not acknowledged,
So I now I'm here,
Sitting alone,
No messages on a screen,
Time for my mind to be mean,
It doesn't matter anyway,
I never thought anyone would stay.
