have you noticed

how silent and calm the earth becomes just as the sun sets beyond the horizon

have you noticed

how even when a storm approaches in the morning, birds still fill the air with their lullabies

have you noticed

how low the fog lays as if ready to befriend and swallow up anything in its path

have you noticed  

how everything keeps living
despite all the changes that occur
everyday

have you

Sometimes* I can feel myself sinking in a bottom-less ocean
I  glance around with salty eyes,
and although my vision is blurred,
I can see all that is against me staying a float.
and I forget to breath.

Sometimes I can feel myself sinking infinitely in a bottom-less ocean.
My entire body rowing against invisible currents and riptides.
And although my body begins to tremble from weakness,
I can still see the top where I am able to breath.
And I theorize an insane notion,
that maybe if I keep rowing, I will reach the top.
Maybe I will see the sun again and feel how it beats so intensely on my whole being.
but along with this notion,
I remember to cry.

I've wasted nights listening to the rain fall so rapidly,
that my head would start to spin from motion sickness.

I wondered,
how could rain fall so fast?

How could anything fall so fast and so helplessly?

But then I thought of you.

You have built a home of pain, love, rage, and utter madness inside of me.
I want you- out.
All of you.
