my mind is fuzzy, it is dizzy and warm
i think back to my memories
like a disc skipping, there are some scratches that i cannot get out
i am truly aching to get out my true potential
what is that? what does that even fucking mean?
Why can't it just be existing and then you die
but you have to reach something
like life is a game
but like Holden said in the
Catcher in the Rye
life is not really game
not really
once you're off the field
and there are no more players
i can't fool anyone
i was never meant to be that way
i lost more people being myself because
i do not play
i do not play social rules
my mind is fuzzy
its always cloudy
its always gray
but i like gray, cloudy days
i like rain so heavy no one
wants to go out
but it is too fuzzy in my brain
and my heart feels too much, like a raw sore healing and then
bursting apart over and over
again
and bloodless, I cannot die
I just ache and breathe,
but I feel like
my bones and my movements
are not mine
and i want to live in my fizzy brain
with the scattered little droplets of
sweet, happy things
But there is something lurking there
like a dark, brooding fish
a black little thing
that can spout
out things
like spew
and dust
my love isn't free,
it has been
open to (before)
a choice lady
or a nice guy,
but overall my colors leak and spill
and drain all over,
and I cannot get the stains out,
but since a decade
it has only been black and white
one, one
one invisible color
only i can see
and feel
it feels like netted cloth
it feels like serrated jaws
it feels like memories come alive
and I escape my traumas
and pains
for a moment inside of it
but when i come out,
well, i already came out, haha,
but when i come out of the gray, dust, fuzzy
cloudy, scratch-disc color that only i can see film
i see
the real rainbow
and its also
me
