Streams of colours and scents
Flow in the crevasses of my mind.
I talk in sensations,
For I experience this world
Like a newborn that’s come to life,
Except my coming has occurred
Over two decades ago.
And so I feel a bit of an alien,
Having to twist and calibrate
What comes out of my mouth,
Lest I be left hanging
On the other side of the wall,
With my thoughts and my words
Unintelligible to most…
I’ve heard someone say
That those like me better be
Careful not to talk their minds,
For they might be thought fools.
I do not care to be a fool.
I’ve got to try relentlessly
To make myself clear,
So that I may at last find
One who’d understand me,
One that is near,
One that is not dead -
One that is real.

it was not a slamming
but a steady slow
easing closed
the door

quick catch of breath -
not as much as
a deeply drunk
savored gasp

like after a race
hands on thighs bent
******* in air
too quick

until remembered
to take is slow
and pull in that first deep
balmy breath

to take it slow speaks
of patience and of time
less filled with doubt
or regret

take comfort then
I took my time to measure out
feel the weight in my hand
of waiting

of giving you time to
slow down turn around
and see that the door
was closing

I waited there threshold shrinking
pleading silent looks for you
to stop before it shut
and died

but eyes are not accustomed
to look for or perceive
the colors of pain painted
in another

or to catch the dying glimmer
through the cracks of a heart breaking
as it eases closed
the door

i get so focused on the people around me
i lose sight of who i am
ill do almost anything to love on others
and to get their approval
but what do i think of me?
who am i at the end of the day?
I read the newspaper stained in black
I watch the television covered in blood
I listen to the corrupted comebacks
Coming from the people I used to love

The world holds so much negativity
As I try to escape my own
I cower from the harsh world outside
Counting my reasons to be alone

I was raised to fear the world
Just follow what others say
Continue being the passive wallflower
As I count my reasons to stay

Out there is a world where I fall and fail
While my inner world consumes me
Overstimulated and stressed in all kinds
Desperately searching for peace
