A different Place

 I'm starting to think about escape.
It's not that I'm angry
Or bored. I'm not
Sad or afraid.
I'm just not.
The thing is, I want to play a game
A game where the stakes are as high as your life
And the rewards are exploration.
The problem is
Everywhere here is either
Underwater
In a jungle
Or far, far away.
What if I just
Go.
Go and explore a mirror's side of the story
Go and ask the stars what they see
Go and find the secret.
All I need is a way to get there.
Be it by glowing portal
Dubious ritual
Or a choice
I will get there.

    Succulent

    There is a small plant that sits on the corner of my life.

    I have not watered it.
    I do not give it soil, but I do take it, and throw it to the wind.

    List

    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded but you failed
    You succeeded
    You succeeded but you failed

    You are above their bar and below yours
    You survived but you do not celebrate

    They say you reached for the stars.

    Dying songbird

    Please don't leave me, you dying songbird.

    Your song is still beautiful, no matter the notes, no matter the order
    Please don't leave your rusting cage via shoebox, friend.
