Car breaks


I hate the way I feel,
when I think of things,
I don't want to think. 

easy- don't think em.
Right?
but what if;
my thoughts only created things,
that I wanted to think about?
what if I became a massive fairytale story?
one where I wanted to live?
i don't believe I'd ever leave my mind.
i know I'd never have started writing,
reading,
hiking,
loving.
id never have felt pain,
or weakness,
cried and felt tears,
Or knew I was capable of screaming.

There's a beauty in being low,
a force inside one's body to distract,
to heal,
to know.
knowing what it means to be alone,
To be scared,
even angry.
Like a car speedometer,
my brain reads 150mph at its highest,
but I've never gone that fast.
it's only knowing that my car was built,
for the reassurance that it can stop,
because why would my car need to stop,
if I never moved,
if I never thought things I didn't want,
id need no reason to break,
but cars are meant to move.

    Today I booked a flight to Germany,

    A place I’ve never known,

    Neither did my father,

    Nor my mothers ever gone,

    It’s funny how the geographic gene,

    Or dna,

    However did the ones before you,

  • Heaven??

    I think that it’s alright to grieve,

    It’s ok to be upset,

    My eyes lay blank on white canvas,

    Trying to forget.

    I wish I never met you,

    Wish you never made me smile,

    Because I’m afraid of heart break,

  • Sentiment

    If I wore a different face would I recognize myself?

    If I no longer had the struggle of beautiful tears,

    Falling from beautiful eyes,

    Would they still be the windows into the soul I know now?
