Random drips chaos in my phone

A broken past molds us into what we call our present mask

and all that lingers and basks,

either feeding positive tasks or manifesting a present past

(It makes no sense, don't ask)

 

Attraction is distraction

Unsolvable fractions

Needing emotional extraction

 

Mind dribble dance

Lost in a trance, never had a chance

So used to subliminally bursting

Not used to someone witnessing me recoloring

 

I curl inside

I wish to hide

I crave apathy

I refuse apathy

I boycott spoon-fed darkness

But sometimes it swallows you whole

I understand the anger of an earth angel

I understand the haunting isolation when you realize you're the last of your kind

 

When life meets despair, inhale that coastline air

It's better to painfully breathe than apathetically impair

 

~ the calm after a heart wave crashes ~

I'm not sure I care to format this so I'm just gonna leave it here all messy and chaotic and stuff.
