Not black Distract Ignore, destroy Face the facts Living last Flailing, failing fast Turn, burn, yearn Emptiness so vast Empty, half full glass Race to complacency Staples in my stomach Staring at ceilings Simplicity in feeling What demands to be felt Doing our best with the hands we’ve been dealt
Wild-eyed, sitting frozen Feeling trapped in the life I’ve chosen Revolting, molting, shedding dead skin Shaking these bones, can never relax I’ll never win. Chagrin, baring my sins like the crooked smiles cloaking my lies. I’m fine I’m fine I’m fine :) Feel like I’m sinking, thinking of dirt, worms, The grave I keep digging Flinching at memories I wish meant nothing Clinging to love I’m eternally lacking, somehow missing Piiissing myself at the thought Blissing out like a star in the sky Lost in my own world, omitting the why’s and who’s that got me here Somehow I survived my 23rd year Unwanted writer girl, suffocated by fear Dreaming of drowning in beer Lost in this loneliness Regretting everything I’ve ever held dear.
