I can’t think of it
It’ll come I guess
I woke up with this feeling
Of utter shock
I knew it would pass,
And the moment would fold over and drown into sorrow.
It always sounds like rain,
It feels like rain pattering on a tin roof,
There are no tin roofs around here.
I think of Little Lemon Flower
Crying in the sun, and the sun shines on,
I cry as the harsh rays cross over her blossoms covered in tears, not water,
Cause I understand how the world moves
Around the aching, troubled, painful
Waters surrounding you,
So indifferent and cruel.
Sometimes I hate waiting
For the feeling to pass.
I hate trying to get back to the world.
I eat and hate the feeling of full.
I cried today because the food was like ash and dust, and I didn’t want
To feel human anymore.
I can’t think of it,
I can’t think of anything.
It’ll come, eventually.
I guess.
