Remembering the Future

I have detailed memories of occasions I'd like to forget

While I can never remember things I'd like to never dismiss.

Never miss this,

How emptiness kissed my closed lips as I concealed emotions I wasn't stable enough to

feel yet.

Happiness gets,

No place in a crowed room yet full of space

Full of thoughts I hadn't had time to think yet.

Keep me pressed for time while I have not a dime to spend

on costly relationships with mankind that seem to let my soul sour

every time I can recall.

While I spend my time writing poems of sorrows I realize that I can never again

relive the time I've wasted thinking about what could have beens or what should be's

funny how the lack of emotional space seems to burn like honey bees stinging my expressionless face.

I ran races of foot dreams for maybe if I made one last step to a finish line I had no idea to where its destination could possible be I just new it had to be somewhere far away from my inner self so it had to be the perfect place for someone as spaced out yet completely glued to one spot craved to be.

Like cravings for cookies sprinkled with life was a treat I hadn't yet baked in ovens of temper felt skulls

made with love by the one who composed this distress into the perfect picture of a cloudy gray yet colorful mess.

This life helps me dress myself as I picture my thoughts as organized as yours

My ideas of greatness neatly folded into perfectly hand crafted drawers and my creativeness escapes to the next nut case that could handle my beliefs better than me.

Package my soul and send it right back to me for I want to wrap my uncanny way of places words onto pages to stay

I wouldn't know how else to survive if my life was anything but this way.
