is reality your nightmare or is your nightmare reality?
jas May 2020
this feeling inside me devours every inch of my brain
just picks at it until there is nothing left but scattered ashes
left is the remains of what was
absolutely nothing

gravity isn't the thing that weighs me down but it's the thing that keeps me standing upright
I guess that's the one good thing about living here on earth

you know, I have heard a saying "hell is other people", but in this case, hell is living with myself.
living with the idea that once was,
am I to blame myself for not receiving the energy I so wish to deserve
let alone, being enough to deserve anything

love is outer space
enough to view the twinkle in the stars at night
or the moon and all of its phases
it's enough to feel the warmth of the sun glistening on your skin
to embrace the clouds and the sunsets that exist so effortlessly beautiful

yet, far from me to even reach
to want something that is just in the tips of your fingertips but not enough to grasp onto it
fighting for a feeling to live a love that flows carelessly

if I should disappear, would I still exist in your mind?

at the end of the day, what's left to hold on to?

chasing after energy can leave you effortlessly tired
you attract what you give out and yet it's never enough

I want to be the flower that you pick
it's orange and yellow with a bright green stem,
shouldn't have been picked just yet
but that's what you chose
it was me
I mean it could have been
but there was a time in the past
that I was still seeded in the ground
and wasn't able to allow me to grow
and that's when you picked me
I wasn't ready
or maybe you couldn't nurture me
which is it?

hurting myself seems fun
the salt in the wound
gives me a run,
for my life
just wanna live enough
to give me that edge
maybe it's all I ever needed

thought i had someone
to love
i was in love
to someone
forever felt that one
in my heart
it beat for you
jas Apr 2020
all my life
i've begged for peace
I can't imagine what you'd do with me

all these years
my hearts have been aching
can't you believe it?
