My mind is racing again At 4:37 am I wish my grades were as heightened As my inability to sleep I’ve been having nightmares But they don’t scare me anymore Sometimes I find a comfort in knowing That the monsters I’ve dreamt Are a lot more pleasant than the monsters I have left to dream I don’t mind it But I mind you Only because you’re always on my Mind I pretend that I’m a solipsist , But I could have just made it up Your love wasn't as real in my heart (As it was in my head) I am a shy little flower Somewhere behind the trees “There’s really no way to reach me” But there is. No one has taken the time to Explore I once met a girl A traveler in that moment She told me a story about her grandmother Who was shipped to a boarding school in Germany right after WWII. At the age of three The first sentence she ever understood was: "Everything is broken" And she lived a whole life With that silly little thought Echoing. Someday I will find an ocean breeze Worth calling my home With sand as soft As my tinder Beating heart Good night Is a formulation of words Whose meaning I am still Unfamiliar with As I walked along Your art stricken walls I wonder if I’ve ever really been capable Of creating But hardly ever do I strike an inspiration I can call entirely my own

Heavy eyes heavy with the burden of being Awake
My mind is racing again At 4:37 am I wish my grades were as heightened As my inability to sleep I’ve been having nightmares But they don’t scare me anymore Sometimes I find a comfort in knowing That the monsters I’ve dreamt Are a lot more pleasant than the monsters I have left to dream I don’t mind it But I mind you Only because you’re always on my Mind I pretend that I’m a solipsist , But I could have just made it up Your love wasn't as real in my heart (As it was in my head) I am a shy little flower Somewhere behind the trees “There’s really no way to reach me” But there is. No one has taken the time to Explore I once met a girl A traveler in that moment She told me a story about her grandmother Who was shipped to a boarding school in Germany right after WWII. At the age of three The first sentence she ever understood was: "Everything is broken" And she lived a whole life With that silly little thought Echoing.
