stepping forward
to
nothing
looking forward
to
black
please tell me
this isn't over
and that's that
it was nothing
but empty air
only held space
until
something better was there
just leave me alone
to overthink over here
stop looking at me, then
with eyes that care
stop
stop
looking at me, then
bring your words
while I spit in the air
I am unpleasant, I know
I don't mean a thing
What am I even saying?
I am just keeping you here
I am frantically searching
for peace and a prayer
because this right here
hurts everywhere
why does it hurt
so much everywhere?
and all
the unknown
doesn't feel fair
it's mud in my face
and gum in my hair
it's "I'm such a disgrace"
to think of all that I wanted to share
how embarrassing it is
to find me human in this mirror
wearing presumptuousness like flowers
pinned in my hair
wearing my heart
on my sleeve
as if I was naive
and unaware
You trust and you are vulnerable
and the risk is always there.
