I yearn to leap off the sky.
I want to fall until the world steals my breath,
And the land breaks my flesh.
Ravanna Dee Oct 2017
My world is speeding up. Everyday it gets closer and closer to some invisible end point. I just don't know what that end point looks like. It's scary. Like racing towards an edge and knowing you can't slow down. My heart speeds up. Kicking me in the lunges as I think about it.
  My schedule is always full. Exhaustion is my lurking roommate. I wake up just as tired as I was when I fell asleep. I want to name this feeling but I can't grasp the right words. So I Google hundreds of them. Hoping. Praying. That I'll find one that settles on my soul. So far? No luck. They all start to blur eventually. The A's and the Q's all look the same. The B's and the R's intertwine. My brain is a scattered mess of failed expectations and words I can't express to my full desire.
Every writer should do a little bit of Freewriting. Five minutes, You would be incredibly surprised by what you can see and create when you just tune yourself out and write.

I sat down and let my heart bleed.
Then I told the world I was writing.

"Oh, come on! Name one other time I have ever lied to you?"

"This time."

"It was only once!"

"Sometimes, that's all it takes."

I'm never going to be that girl.
The one that can just turn away.
I'm never going to let you fall.
Even if it causes me pain.
I'm told this is the problem with me,
I care too much
And love too deep.

You did not see the way,
she chewed the scabs inside her lip,
Nor did you see the way,
she'd watch the scarlet drip.
You would speak and tower over her,
claiming yourself to be so very wise.
Meanwhile she silently taught herself,
to cover her words in a disguise.

I am like the stars.
Every once in awhile,
you'll see as another piece of me
falls for you.
