Drowning In Thoughts
I feel like I’m drowning
In a world so hopeless
Like my mind is just plunging deep into the abyss
I feel my lungs fill with water
Making breathing impossible
As my mind spirals farther into the darkness
My body is fighting
But my mind has already given up
Accepting the fact that I can’t reach the surface
Knowing I’m going to drown
Right here
Alone
With nothing but my thoughts
In a world so hopeless
Like my mind is just plunging deep into the abyss
I feel my lungs fill with water
Making breathing impossible
As my mind spirals farther into the darkness
My body is fighting
But my mind has already given up
Accepting the fact that I can’t reach the surface
Knowing I’m going to drown
Right here
Alone
With nothing but my thoughts

Sirens Warmth
Love is like music
Like that one song
Or one band
That makes you dance
And sing
And move
Without even thinking
No matter where you are
Or what you’re thinking about
It hits you at your core
Love is like music
You feel it so deeply
That it’s more than just a song
It’s a feeling of warmth
Of happiness
Of perfection
Like is was written just for you
Love is like music
Even if you know all the words
And every instrument
And every single second
You still play it over and over
Because...
Like that one song
Or one band
That makes you dance
And sing
And move
Without even thinking
No matter where you are
Or what you’re thinking about
It hits you at your core
Love is like music
You feel it so deeply
That it’s more than just a song
It’s a feeling of warmth
Of happiness
Of perfection
Like is was written just for you
Love is like music
Even if you know all the words
And every instrument
And every single second
You still play it over and over
Because...

Hurt
I'm invisible
Despite all the people who walk by
Busy with their own lives
No second glances
All I can think about is you
And how a small misunderstanding
Turned into a million bad thoughts
But nothing worse than you hating me
Completely alone
Sitting in the dark
Wishing you knew the pain and hurt
That you are causing me
Despite all the people who walk by
Busy with their own lives
No second glances
All I can think about is you
And how a small misunderstanding
Turned into a million bad thoughts
But nothing worse than you hating me
Completely alone
Sitting in the dark
Wishing you knew the pain and hurt
That you are causing me

My New Home
My new home
away from home
for the next few months
is a dorm
on a campus
in a state
three and a half
-four if you count traffic-
hours away from home
Daily self screening
weekly testing
always wearing a mask
constantly washing hands
using hand sanitizer
and staying six feet apart
This is not
‘The freshman experience’
I thought it would be
I should have known
with the way my senior year ended
New faces
new friends
new professors
new protocols
new world ...

Feeling Alone
I feel so alone in a place filled with people
It's like I just don't fit in anywhere I go
I know I have friends and people who care about me here
But I can't shake this feeling of distance
of loneliness
like no one really understands
It's like I just don't fit in anywhere I go
I know I have friends and people who care about me here
But I can't shake this feeling of distance
of loneliness
like no one really understands

I Don't Write
I don't write fantasy because I can never put those ideas into words
I don't write stories because I always blank on the endings
I don't write during the day because I get too distracted
I write my emotions because I feel them so deeply I fear I might explode if I don't get them out
I write poems because they don't need to make sense as long as they mean something to me
I write at night because I need the world to be silent for me to hear my own voice
I don't write stories because I always blank on the endings
I don't write during the day because I get too distracted
I write my emotions because I feel them so deeply I fear I might explode if I don't get them out
I write poems because they don't need to make sense as long as they mean something to me
I write at night because I need the world to be silent for me to hear my own voice

I Don't Understand
I don't understand the world somedays
It's like I just arrived from a different universe
And I can't wrap my head around the human race
Everyone is different but no one wants to admit it
These differences should be bringing us together and not driving us apart
I don't understand the world somedays
Why does humanity try to change others
It's none of their business what they wear, who they talk to, how they identify, or how they live their life
People can do what they want, it's not for you to decide
I don't understand the world somedays
We are...
It's like I just arrived from a different universe

Us
I love that feeling of fitting in
Like we just go together perfectly
Days of knowing you feels like years
Like our souls are reconnecting from another time
Life is so much more brighter with you
And I honestly couldn’t tell you why
We exist in perfect harmony
Like all the struggles i’ve gone through were to lead me to you
This is not an easy feeling to describe
But those who have felt it just know
It’s a feeling like all is right or will be alright
A feeling of calm yet excited
Peace but nerves
Never wanting this feeling to...
Like we just go together perfectly
Days of knowing you feels like years

A feeling of calm yet excited

The World Is Still Asleep
The world is still asleep
And for a moment, here alone, I feel alright
The birds are singing
And the clouds in the sky are a lovely shade of pink
A deer watches me from a nearby field
It stares as if our roles were reversed
I watch for a minute
Entranced by the way it moves
The air is crisp and cool
Unaware that by noon it will be the opposite
The deer is now out of sight
But not out of mind
I can’t help but think about life
And how this moment could mean nothing
Or
It could mean everything
And for a moment, here alone, I feel alright
The birds are singing
And the clouds in the sky are a lovely shade of pink
A deer watches me from a nearby field
It stares as if our roles were reversed
I watch for a minute
Entranced by the way it moves
The air is crisp and cool
Unaware that by noon it will be the opposite
The deer is now out of sight
But not out of mind
I can’t help but think about life
And how this moment could mean nothing
Or
It could mean everything

Wishing For The Impossible
I say that everyone leaves me
But what if I'm just driving them away?
Or maybe it's a combination of both, I don't know
But what I do know is the lonely and hurt
The tears I cry silently every night
The longing for the way my life use to be
When I had people who I knew I could turn to
When I had people who wanted to talk with me
When I had people who I trusted and loved
Cold has engulfed my heart and refuses to warm again
My brain has locked away my emotions and saves them for when I'm alone
Alone and broken
Wondering how I've come...
But what if I'm just driving them away?
Or maybe it's a combination of both, I don't know
But what I do know is the lonely and hurt
The tears I cry silently every night
The longing for the way my life use to be
When I had people who I knew I could turn to
When I had people who wanted to talk with me
When I had people who I trusted and loved
Cold has engulfed my heart and refuses to warm again
My brain has locked away my emotions and saves them for when I'm alone
Alone and broken
Wondering how I've come...

Not My World
I've entered a whole new world
Of perfectly mowed lawns
Sandy beaches
And never ending sunsets
People dressed in clothes way too expensive for me
I stand out
I don't belong
But I'm here with my friend
And she fits right in
So I receive fake smiles and happy voices....until they think I'm out of earshot
I've entered a whole new world
Where everyone owns boats and kayaks and jet skis
They keep these novelties at their 'camps'
Or more accurately--a second home next to a lake
I want to laugh at their lavish lifestyle
So...
Of perfectly mowed lawns
Sandy beaches
And never ending sunsets
People dressed in clothes way too expensive for me
I stand out
I don't belong
But I'm here with my friend
And she fits right in
So I receive fake smiles and happy voices....until they think I'm out of earshot
I've entered a whole new world
Where everyone owns boats and kayaks and jet skis
They keep these novelties at their 'camps'
Or more accurately--a second home next to a lake
I want to laugh at their lavish lifestyle
So...

Self Reflection
Sometimes I'm afraid
Afraid that I'll say something
Something I can't take back
I'm afraid of the outcome
And what others will think
And how it will change things
Sometimes I cry
Because I dont know what to do
There is no right answer
And I just want everything to be okay
I cry even when I smile
Because deep down I'm confused
And worried about what to do
And what I should or should not say
Afraid that I'll say something
Something I can't take back
I'm afraid of the outcome
And what others will think
And how it will change things
Sometimes I cry
Because I dont know what to do
There is no right answer
And I just want everything to be okay
I cry even when I smile
Because deep down I'm confused
And worried about what to do
And what I should or should not say
