I open my phone to noise I find peace in the silence between us I open my heart to dream My brain tears it up with nightmares My throat aches for an ongoing scream Music doesn't reach me Everything is touching me at once and yet I am so alone Floating in space, a forever changing soul New to the world and hurt by it all Invited by some yet welcomed to none I am just another plank in this series of planes The dimensions are parallel and nothing touches me I'm untouchable and strong Independent but altogether wrong I dream and I wish and I manifest And I will bring myself all the best I love my body, its heart and its art The flesh, the ink I start to sink I am more earth and bone I am not nothing I am not mere I am here Not so far gone after all, but rather near I'm grounded and sinking deeper I'm buried and swaddled I am my own keeper I am here for a reason But I will indulge myself in change, evolve with each season I am that new soul that can be molded into anything I melt between fingers and I use my own hands I am my own creator My wishes are demands
