i have more words
i just don’t know what they are yet
and i don’t want to scream into the abyss just to scream
just for it to see me too
i want to really say something
i want your heart to pound
eyes to water
i want you to look over your shoulder at night when you’re alone, in the dark, and you hear a sound
i want you to feel
i want to feel
and it scares me
scares me that we are so disconnected
even though we’re all breathing the same air
beating the same blood through veins
screaming with the same lungs
touching with the same skin
this spider has us wrapped so tightly in her web
and it scares me
there’s nowhere for me to run
from this consciousness that causes so much scorched land
broken promises and forced agreeance
but if we can see it
the web
the trappings
the subtle paralytic wrapping and wrapping and wrapping
we are free
but i don’t know the words
and i’m afraid
(aren’t we all?)
that no one is listening anyway
Folks are listening, you. 🙂 ❤
And yeah…i think we all are. I don’t know if we’d be human w/o this silly ‘fear mechanism.’ But sometimes it would be great to have an on/off on it. 🙂
Thank you! 🥰🥰 I totally agree! An off/on switch would be marvelous!
I hope you’re doing well in this crazy, crazy time! 🖤
