My mind

The rhythm of it all

stops

I hear

I feel

the world differently

it hurts in a way I can't describe

my mind scared of this abnormal occurrence

but happens relatively often.

I can't describe it

it's worse if there's a song stuck in my head

or it's super quiet.

I have dreams, too

that are more sensation

then visual.

I can never describe them

and when I try

my mind can't form the words that I wish to say

the words that don't exist.

It is more of a feeling

a sensation to the mind

then a visual form

an appearance

that continues to haunt

my mind.

  • Exploring

    The toy falls 

    faster 

    faster 

    closer to the ground 

    its paws reaching out

    it lands on the grass with a light thud

    it hides there

    waiting

    quietly.

  • Everything

    I have the chance to do anything

    not quite everything

    but many things

    and I don't know what I want to do.

    I could be a writer

    or start my own company

    or be an Einstein-level mathematician

  • Stereotypes

    I hate stereotypes

    and the heavy, constant smell of perfume as I walk by my classmates wearing too much lip gloss

    but I like dressing myself up

    and I do care about my appearance
