Claire
is not just mental,
but physical;
each side of the brain droops,
slowly sinking downward
pouring a lack of tears into either eye
which, when they fall,
drag down both corners of the mouth
their weight reflective upon every *****,
every limb
and all the pieces that once made up a person,
now,
too heavy
body yet to crumble
you said i painted you as a monster
i hate my hands
now i finally understand
why Van Gogh cut off his ear
I have mass
Too much of it
No matter how little I eat


And I take up space
I don't mean to be a burden
But I am
And I'm sorry


And since the definition of matter is
Anything that has mass
And takes up space


**I suppose I "matter"
The result of too much chemistry homework
Every morning I swim up a vertical river,
Almost drowning, as night leans into
A clean new day, where thoughts
And plans crystallize in a foam
And spray, which isolates
Me from the world
Of people and
Places and
Problems.

I am reborn
Rejuvenated
And cleansed
Of a night that
Contaminated my
Now-clean body
With all my
Yesterdays
Erased
Am I the only one who wonders,
what ants do all the time?
When they walk seemingly without a pattern,
do they know where they are going?
What do ants think of us, do we scare them,
or are we not importand enough to care about?
How do they communicate?
Can they be sad?
I keep thinking about the ants?
Do they ever think like this, about the flies? Or spiders, or butterflies?
Who will ever know...
So never know
if my heart is breaking
or what at anytime it feels
just want to eat now
surve me food and my intergalactic travel will easy
from this world to the next
sitting in bar dreaming of a girl.
True Story      P@ul.
Maybe if I turn the music up loud enough,
I won't hear the silence in my head,
Or feel the emptiness inside.
That's what music is, right?
It fills the holes,
A dose of emotion for the emotionless.
I didn't say no, but my silence
Didn't say yes.
*******.
