You just sit there staring…
With your Cheshire cat grin
As if to exude beguiled & bemused
While making entreaty to let you in
If boys will be boys
Then girls will be toys
Consistently falling
For all of their ploys
And allowing their confidence
To be destroyed
The bottom of the ocean.
Not viewable to anyone. 95 percent unknown.
Yet, many people do not fear it. I am not one of those people.
Yet, my senior project was to swim one mile.
Numbers, express, fractions, percents the fear with my hands being sweaty.
Teacher asks, " Deloria what is the answer"? Of course, I freeze all I can think is zero.
Play me a song
‘Cause I’m feeling lonely
Like the sad lyrics
Of a Troye Sivan single
Fuck it,
I’ll dance all by myself
You're like my own personal drug,
Addicive and intoxicating,
You cast a spell on me,
And I can never break free.
It's dangerous,
And I know I should run,
My mind is such a mess.
I wish I could explain.
Am I happy or am I upset?
It's hard to tell with such pain.
Should I even care?
Because at times things aren't fair.
I could feel the change.
Had I known that the prerequisitefor our relationshipwas beating your step dad Rexon a mountain bikeI would have challenged him to a rematchI didn't know we were racingI didn'tI didn't
Perhaps it is human nature to seek out hidden things?
Or is it just to reach for things unseen?
The mysteries of the mind are unsolved, and will remain as such.
You texted me hey and I felt butterflies accumulate in my stomach
The effect you have on me, like the slam of the ocean on the waves
Relentless, powerful, the continuous crash as I think about you
I want you
I lost myself inside my head-space
No mind palace up here.
I went a-wandering inside myself.
And I tell you, its been years...
Since all of my saw the sun
Hugged a friend,
Smelled a flower.
I worry about the future, because of my past.
And I wonder if this pain, will continue to last.
All the things that happened and the things I've done,
All I want to do, is continue to run.
