Lagging

I thought

I'd be fine on my own this year

After being shown the ropes

But...

I didn't realize how much of a lifeline you were

Until I was stranded

Didn't realize I fell further and further down 

Down

Down

To you and I can't get back up by myself

I thought this year would be a breeze

And then I could get out in the world and

Do something

Be someone

Be a real human in a realer world

But it's lagging

It's l a g g i n g and I'm so alone 

So annoyed at people I like

So t i r e d

And they're just trying to please me

And I have impossible standards

Standards you bypassed by a million

Standards met and exceeded at orchestra rehearsal

So why?

Why is everything a disappointment?

And I wish everything would go away and then what?

And then what?

And then I go back to average nobody?

My computer's as glitchy as my life

When everything's going right it feels wrong

Where am I?

I should not be here

I am out of place

And I have to do all this

W i t h o u t  y o u

And everything is

So

Laggy

  • The thing is

    The thing is,

    I can't get over it.

    It sticks in my memory

    unforgettable

    and I want it

    but I know it was just

    subconscious dreamland.

    It was old

  • Future fantasy

    I dreamt

    it was next year

    everyone I loved was there

    tall chairs

    light work

    not reality

    everyone

    perfect

    I woke up and I felt his love

    butterfly wings against my cheek

  • Infinity

    My dread of math -

    infinite.

    Why must it be so complicated?

    Math reasoning may be the authority on your scoring sheets

    but it's not the boss of me.

    Because there is no math reasoning.
