Don't know


I don't know.
I don't know what to say 
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do this 
I don't know
And it's the most miserable thing
I can't even talk to my own mum 
About what's wrong
Because I don't know myself
It's not something I can put into words
It's just raw emotion
And problem after problem 
It's falling down a rabbit hole of regrets
And waking up in a wonderland
Of reality 
Of people leaving you permanently 
And you never getting the chance to say bye
It's looking at all your fails 
And realizing 
You haven't improved in the slightest,
opening up to someone
to have them break you down 
giving all you got
only to be asked for more
falling down 
and nobody bothering to pick you back up 
it's stuck in a burning hell 
of indecision 
and uncertainty 
not knowing who to turn to
or what to say 
lost in a torrent of emotion
drowning in a sea of isolation 
of simply
no knowing.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
