does your presence matter when
you're breathing
but not truly living?
no, you cannot help it
only your madness can,
only your madness can directly control your mind
but if you're not truly living,
just breathing,
then how would it effect your soul
when you're
not here to notice it?
and when you don't notice something,
you don't taste it,
or hear it,
and you can't reach out to touch it with your pale
fingertips
that crave texture and the warmth
of another individuals hands
and maybe just that
holding of the hands
will let your madness hide away
and will make your presence
feel mattered
and maybe,
you will truly start
living
