More than not spend all day in bed
Remarkable how depression works around the clock
By the time I manage to raise my head
Sheep gather to be counted in a flock
I'm only not depressed when I am asleep

Exceptional ...

why you ...
why did I choose you ...
from among ...
all humans ...
all females ...
over this universe ...
Or ...
why I loved you ...
with no reason ...
don't ask me ...
i also don't know ...
but I found in you ...
the security I needed ...
the peace ...
among all these ...

I chose you ...
the heart loves ...
whoever it wants ...
and my heart did ...
and still do ...
yes ...
me and my heart ...
we both chose you ...
while we both ...
don't know ...

yes ...
you are not the only one ...
in this universe ...
but you are an exception ...
to chose you ...
to my heart ...

so ,...
don't ask me ...
why do i love you ...

In a world full of exceptional titans
They walk the lands and the world shakes
Talents forged in the highest forms of heaven

They scoop the gold glittering sun with their palms
Stars bow their heads as they twinkle with affection
The seas shake in fear and the world spins for them

I was overwhelmed,
Because who am I compared to this shining titans,
I was just a peasant farmer
Poor and helpless with nothing to boast of

I mean yeah
The ship is sinking
But the music
Is exceptional
In the end
Tell me who would
Want to be hurt
Or even bleed
Their whole lives?
And in love,
If it is for you
My dear
I can hurt
Until it hurts the most
Cry a riven
Until I drown first
Lose until
I lose what's in store
And bleed until
I can bleed no more.

I want to do something,
not for you,
something for me,
something gleaming with everlasting renown.

Throughout this fraction of life,
I have grazed this objective
like a lover's fingers
tracing the profound edge's
of the starving artist's spine;
I have tasted that moment of completion
but only in the smallest dose,
like that last drop
that collects around the bottle's rim.

I cannot say this life has been mediocre,
but I yearn for the exceptional.
I'm tired of seeing lesser fools
idolized by fools more talented than them.
I'm tired of the chorus,
let me write a new verse.

And though the greatest agony I bear
is that I may never reach that fabled nirvana,
I hold close the dreams
that make believers out of fools like me.

I think I am more than what the average person may be able to handle
I am loud and I am content, bright and forever moving even when time may stand still
And I am soft and I am kind, quiet and sitting lonely with thoughts considered exceptional
I am the heavy wind that tickles your nose and makes you run after your favourite beanie
And I am the soft droplets of rain that wets your hair and calms your soul, slowly
I am the bright lights that flash against your thoughts in a crowd filled with noise
And I am the ancient pearls your gran gifted that leaves your heart filled with poise
I am the cold coffee with extra sugar that you always make but never drink
And I am the gulps of laughter you swallow hot as you kiss her on the kitchen sink
I am the crumpled pieces of paper filled with incomplete sentences, thrown across your room
And I am the blue droplets of paint in your framed painting of tulips in bloom
I am the extra change in coins that you never use, the ones you throw across your car
And I am the notes found in your favourite song, the one that lets you feel as if your body is a star
I am the blood stained kitchen floor that makes you scream as you remember the night’s events
And I am the crisp smell of lilies that you lay on your white sheets to give off your favourite scents.
I am the emergency room at midnight, when a 15 year old boy is brought in with a face not considered his own
And I am the wedding chapel at 2pm, filled with blushing hope and displays of affection allowed to be shown
I am the end of the galaxy where chaos mixes with beauty and only destruction can be created
And I am the beginning of the universe filled elements and light in which life is celebrated
**I am so, so much. Perhaps too much, perhaps everything
But I shall continue to be nothing
Until I can feel something.
I wrote this to explain that sometimes a person can be filled with so much life and can be exploding with passion or they could be more gentle and passive, with calmer thoughts BUT none of this would actually matter if a person can't actually feel or show anything- emotions. You can be the best dancer in the room but if you cant't feel the music, it's not the same. Your're somewhat numb.

"It's unparalleled."
"What is?"
"You."
Just a piece of dialogue that stuck with me while I was writing
