These feelings

Poetry

untamed feelings, have me looking like I’ve got no behaviour, just don’t know how to act, I’m always misbehaving like that

a typical Pisces, almost drowning trying to swim in this Ocean of emotional crisis, always asking ‘why the fuck is life like this?’

heart pounding so hard against my rib cage, like it knows this ships about to go down and it’s trying to escape

last night, I was so tired of thinking and feeling, tried to close my eyes but my restless bones kept me from sleeping

no sexual healing, just wide awake dreaming, holding onto myself because I’m someone to believe in

we all mess up a little and a lot and we break sometimes, it’s okay, for days, weeks, months — we might fall behind, I let grace take my hand and pull me through these rides

now the Sun is blazing bright in the sky, I keep staring and blinking, it’s a beautiful life really is all that I’m thinking, so for real — I’ve got to stop myself from slowly sinking

I spill ink straight from my chest, incomplete human stories that I possess, then take a pause so I can take a fucking breath

we all need a minute to get some rest, we’re trying to find some order in this chaotic mess
