“on the Edge”
Of only I knew what it felt like to be at the jaws of death would I know what it feels like to live
I jump at every opportunity like it’s an empty trampoline park
I dream of life without morose or with an adventageous sort of way
As Thoreau said “the mass of men lead quiet lives of desperation”
But reaching the end is reaching out with no destination
Here lies the beast of all that is grand
We all know she’s to be damned
Suddenly she’s sent to die
Shaking in her sickly sighs
Playing mother may I with my own brain
Trying to scream but I know that I sound insane
Im touched by god with banal and egregiousness
24/7 I’m eating at my own vividness
I’m too much too effervescent
“Keep quiet” or “stay in the present”
But what if I don’t want to
My imagination is intricate like each tiny string on a spiders web
I skip to the future with my jump rope of guilt
My melodic poems come from the other side of my head
The side that wants to go back
wants to relive
Wants to remember.
I wanna finish it but I don’t know what to do 🤷♀️
Edit: I finished it 😁
