Unworthy

There's something incriminating about the way in which you replace me. As is true in every storybook setting, we forgot to mention who we are. In some other life, none of this was true. You forgot to fight the scene. You forgot to try to fly. You forgot to remember what I said to you that night.

Empty out this head of mine. Give me a little peace of mind. This greedy ocean will swallow me whole. In the end, you do not get to have this life of mine. You never truly knew I was running at all. I take it back, in shaking hands. I place it inside me somewhere deep, though planning to expose. Sleeves a perfect debut, despite traditions of the past. It was never my style to give up easily. And Nobody knows what they want. Only fools chase rainbows after they fade into a distant memory.

Past. Present. Future. I let it go from my mind. Where have you been when I told you the truth? I say the words to convince myself. And some day they will become truth.

Wishing away the ways in which I've gone mad. I put your picture up months ago. I cleaned the surfaces of my life and lifted myself up for a few months at a time. Vicious cycles will come to an end.

Once the wrath of the puppeteer. Now the wrath of the hands of one so cold.
Frigid; Ice against my heart.


The sun rises to greet the world
I look up and smile at drifting clouds
We began this journey together, my private universe
Let's begin again, for the hundredth time
The holes are deep but I'm quick on my feet.
My words are swift
Articulate this meaningful "______ ____"
My days are beautiful
My heart so filled with grace
I stand upon the life I've made
And smile to myself
Every once in a while, I hit the concrete wall
Prove Yourself. Unworthy.
