stranger
run from my problems
because i don’t know how to solve them
too tired to think
yet i can never find sleep
my thoughts run from me
always slipping past my fingers
never find grounding
a sense of belonging
i am hovering
in the middle of yesterday and tomorrow
always
chewing more than i can swallow
am i overwhelmed?
They tell me i’m not supposed to be
i feel weird
life feels like a dream
without the softness of a pillow
standing upright
taking in whatever life throws
praying for the promise of tomorrow
tomorrow never comes
always a day out of reach
just like the words I
wish to speak
is this real
or is this a dream
these expectations, imperfections, always seem
to confuse me
the change is familiar
but i no longer am
to myself
i am a stranger
I love this!! In your bio you said you were looking for a new playlist, presumably for writing, my favorite is “dark, moody writing” by sheep_cow the picture is an angel statue and the description is “sad instrumental to play while you torture characters”
But also, your poem was amazing, never stop writing and i will never stop reading! ❤️
