I'm sorry that when you think of the past
you don't see it like i do
instead of sharing skin inside blades of grass
you don't think of it like i do
where grey clouds are always out
you don't remember it like i do
where blue skies shined all the time
i just can't help but think
you don't see it like i do

silence is music

silence is music

It is 3am and silence is music*

as I choke on the expectations
that make it hard to breath -
“Inhale, exhale” you tell me
as the caffeine slips into my blood
and I worry that you exist
only in this crazy little mind of mine

It is 3am and silence is music

as my eyelids protest against the light
that is burning too bright to see -
“I’m here” you whisper
as the corner of my lips curl
and I laugh
because you aren’t

It is 3am and silence is music

as my fingers shake the pen
that is vandalizing the old yellow paper –
“You’re okay” you assure me
as I scribble more useless words
and I nod
because I like to believe I am

175/363

everything is silent outside,
but the screaming in my soul
gets louder as the day drags
on, and by twilight there is nothing
but noise in my head,

today i woke up with chaos
in the crevices of my eyelids
and terror like a rumor in my
chest, my legs begging to be
set free, to run away as fast
as they possibly can, but
my body is a caged bird, and
my heart, is telling me to stay.

"love, sleep"

you tell me
        my body is listening
        but my mind is a
stubborn child without what it wants
        and it's putting up a fair fight
