"centring" poems
if you talk
about it
they'll tell you
its just a case
of centring yourself
before
it builds up;
placing yourself
in the moment
and understanding
what cannot be changed
except
there is
no progression
no steady curve
it goes from
a carefully traced line
to a scratched
scrawling scribble
that tears
through leaf
after leaf
of paper
whether the message
is legible
or not
apparently
its simple;
in that split second
between empathy
and apathy
before the destruction
of everything
outweighs
the strength
of all
that has been
accomplished
i simply need
to breath deep
and
count
to
ten
i'm still waiting
to be told
what to do
when my count
reaches ten
and
i'm still
angry

I fear living for someone
centring someone in my universe
I fear not not wanting to be alone
constant noise in my silence
I fear wasting my time on someone
putting my life on hold for them to leave
I fear a lifetime of small talk
being a product of their routines and races
I fear not finding belonging
not being in control
I fear the prison of my mind
never finding the person I don't fear with
I fear not being special in the insignificance
never being not afraid to be vulnerable
I fear only existing

Bored.
of thermo-regulation.
of light waves and rays.
of the idiots around me (capable of being smart).
bored.
of centring my head at a board.
bored of chemistry and why.
transfixed my head; transfixed my eye.
the corner of the other
transfixed on the haze:
the girl, to me, denied.

*why am i so lonely
is it because i spent so much time chasing perfection, your ideal, my demons, instead of boys?
is it because i puked out my insides instead of letting you touch them
and bled out my emotions instead of centring them on you
maybe if i'd looked a little further
screamed a little louder
loved a little harder
i'd be better
enough for you,, enough for anyone*
