i am lame
but still strive for fame

It makes me feel as light as air,
sometimes, as if nothing were there.

It’s beautiful and different in its own way,
no wonder, to many, it’s hard to keep at bay.

It seems to come in many forms,
in many ways that no one warns.

It courses through my veins like mud,
It sometimes makes me feel like crud.

It makes you feel like whole,
like you could run without even a stroll.

It pierces through your heart like knives,
The same place that it thrives.

It takes time they say,
but you just seem to pray.

For better or for worse you ask,
So hard to even focus on a simple task.

Because for me, I can’t seem to understand,
something people seem to play with like
at Disneyland.
I lurched up in the middle of the night with just the first line in mind. I quickly grabbed my notepad and scribbled these words down and quickly fell back to sleep.

The flames come up, engulfing everything in sight.
Eating, feasting even, everything now with blight.
It’s hard to watch, yet too entrancing to me, I can’t put up a fight.
For the fire causes many to experience true plight.
It’s interesting to watch videos or look at wildfires, but then you get to thinking... How many people have suffered from this catastrophe while I just sit here and watch from a phone? Where do these people go? Who helps them? They experience true trauma, while you are in comfort. Quite peculiar in my mind...
