my body is a prison
i want to go go go
but the thought of moving
is a dreaded and feared one
i feel heavy
and tied down
obligations are a chain
that i must pull
but fear to touch
i need to keep moving
to reach a destination far away
but right now i am too tired
i shouldnt force it
but i am afraid
that i will never get up again
dunk poetry tbh

“i touch it | my hand comes away scalded | i hold it | crumble it between my fingers | wipe it off onto my jeans

when the page turns | it holds the same words as the one before”

You spend your life looking for answers you already know.

Your faith in yourself is staggeringly bad.

That must be some kind of curse, to always be right but to never believe.

Do you try to prove yourself wrong? Or prove yourself right?

Too smart for your own good. Too dumb to realize that.

Don't worry no one else believes you either.

it was going well
i was making progress
but it stopped
i stopped
it is hard to start
it is hard to continue
i dont know how it is to finish
because i have never made it that far
what if i never start again
and never find out

this fear hinders me
more than anything else
the fear of never starting again
a self-fulfilling prophecy
the fear of never getting there
makes it hard to start again
its another battle with myself for motivation to do anything

The wind today is a lonely one
It calls for spring like a long lost love
yet clings to winter’s solitude.

people noticed what they want
how can you know where to look
when you never look anywhere at all
maybe there is too much to see
but to see is the least we can do
for when tragedy hits
it hits hard
far past ground zero
whether or not you look that way
the least we can do is look
then react

Don't forget me
In the tide of your life
For the tides take me nowhere
I will not be able to find you
If you let the sea steal you away.
