Zero Nine Jun 2017
Get the sudden feeling that I
I'd be as at home in earth as on
Because I get home to no messages
Which means no one knows me and the
ones who know me must barely care

the reason I have for living
ultimately isn't there

a whispered word
here and there
like I'm not trying

feeling scared and

almost like I'm dying
you mean well but honestly
when has it ever helped me?

you set me crackling
like fire licking dry wood
like lightening striking cold earth
like crashing waves against the shore
and so, so much more

  when he has two more pairs at home
  and his bank account is comfy?
