• A rainy day clouds your mind
    thoughts unable to come so freely
    Room empty, but honestly
    you wouldn't want anyone
    around anyways
    Staring alone watching drops
    fall to their doom
    Wishing you could fall too
    Loneliness.

    A joke, an amusing moment
    from one human to another
    A gift that can't be wrapped
    so plainly, so literally
    Sometimes the words sting,
    though
    But that's okay, because
    you like the bite
    Humor.

    A smile, a laugh, a giggle
    not from a child, but you
    A twinkle in your eye
    so rare like a precious jewel
    Everything warm like
    the rays of sunshine
    on a summer Sunday
    Love.

    The world passes you by
    but their faces...
    You couldn't remember
    them if you tried
    See, those are your
    chains
    You want to be
    to be unforgettable
    Fear.

    The wind blowing your
    hair around your face
    Hands reaching, clinging
    to something long gone
    Tears falling down
    your cheeks
    Blood seeping from the
    scars you thought had sealed
    Loss.

    Rage bucks like a wild
    animal
    Lips twisted into something
    something inhuman
    Fists clenched tight
    shut like your eyes
    Fierce and hasty
    Anger.

    You sigh, you let time
    seep into your soul
    No longer alive
    not really anymore
    You're ready to fall
    let your bones break
    You want to sleep
    just for a while
    Surrender.

    The world swirls and
    blends around you
    Terrifying and magnificent
    Real images leak through
    your version of reality
    Infecting your madness
    with thoughts of
    desperation
    Insanity.

    But perhaps this world
    isn't as crazy as it seems
    For the universe bends
    and folds into itself
    Risking all for nothing
    and nothing for all
    Maybe we could learn
    a little from this
    And simply understand
    life.
