empty

I don’t care,

I’m failing all my classes, my life

I have tasks to do,

two of them, three, four, I’m buried

The weight is crushing me,

I have no one to blame but me,

I let it build up, blasted the water against the dam,

It’s all due today, in just a few hours,

I don’t even attempt to grab my work,

There’s a feeling across my body,

A lack of feeling really,

It’s numbness, I’m numb, apathetic,

Well, that’s a shame.

What’s the point?

I feel so detached, life feels unreal,

I’ll probably drop out of high school,

disappear into the masses,

just another statistic,

another face unseen.

What even matters?

I’ll drive myself to oblivion,

fullily knowing,

willingly walking to my doom,

nothing matters,

Yet, everything does,

Oh god, I care so much.

  • nostalgia

    I want to go back to that simpler time,

    Where we ran through fields and played in dirt,

    When we had an abundance of freedom, a million open moments,

  • burning

    Burned at the stake for all to see.

    Boo! Scream the crowds, words full of glee.

    Smiles lit up the kids faces as they stared at me,

    While the witches cried out for a flicker of mercy.
