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.

  • Swings

    I remember being younger when the playground was in bloom, 

    You told me that I had a choice to use just one; But whom? 

    The slide was overcrowded and I could never get a ride, 

  • An Envy Detour

    May this envy be contagious?

    These naughts of mine that always rise come as dreams in cages?

    I might recon that is so,

    Yesterday as I sat down it started then to snow.

  • Decisions

    Four corners set each way, 
    And I still sit in the box. 
    The left could sin me, 
    Right could win me, 
    Front or back could block. 
    I could become a famous tool, 
    Or infamously triumph,
