Tangled in thoughts
Emotions lost in the mind
Memories forgotten
As the past unwinds.
Fluid motion
While letting things rest
Setting the past into the ocean
As feelings wave
I was brought into this world with no mind of my own,
Seeing time fly by I knew I had no control.
Since the time I remembered I was only just five years old,
Sitting in play time by myself, I was alone.
There's always that boy in the corner,
whom appears to be a foreigner.
Nobody ever seems to talk to him,
or even take considration that his name is Tim.
He's quiet as a mouse,
Today a boy will fall down unconscious
his trembling form on the bathroom floor
one hand clutching tight a bottle
filled with little white exit signs
The masses unrelenting,
dictating thoughts.
Think?
No.
Stop.
Listen and follow.
Follow my command.
Who are you?
Me?
I am you.
You are we.
There is no I.
Say something
Before I shake the words out of you
Scream at me until you can't feel the pain
Thrashing in agony in bitter silence
If you don't project, they won't remember your name
They say, life is like the sun
Full of energy
And bright as can be
They say, death
Is an ever changing
Prolonged unsolved mystery
They say, love is forever
never forgotten in a sea of misery
I want to tell you
"I love you"
But I am just too scared.
Whatever would you think of me,
if indeed you heard
The flutter of my expectant heart,
The quickening of my breath,
