Sometimes I forget why. I forget why I’m here, as if there was a reason at some point. I forget where I’m going, where I’m from, why thats even important. And I find myself full up with this feeling this lingering, ever looming feeling that makes me want to burst from the seams of my skin. And inside that feeling is total emptiness. The darkest of darks I feel it when I sit in a puddle of myself surrounded by walls When I am alone with others. Always, always. I don’t know if it is the world wanting in or me wanting out I don’t know if they can see it or feel it in my presence Or if they have it too. Desperately, I wish it was anomalous. The feeling goes away temporarily, with distractions Art, music, a taste of affection and then I feel the shadow and there it is again.

Empty, Bursting
Sometimes I forget why. I forget why I’m here, as if there was a reason at some point. I forget where I’m going, where I’m from, why thats even important.
