Saudade

Eyes outward

I am from the Earth

Not of the earth

I walk this path

I know I must learn

The alleged truth is that we earn the right to be here

If that's true

If there's a forbidden truth, a forgotten song, is there any chance

my soul got it wrong?

Head in my chest

And my heart in my mouth

I can hardly find the words

They get stuck in my throat

Stream of Consciousness

About the Creator

Amanda

Angst? Just an esoteric soul wrapped up in 21st-century BS hoping one day it'll make sense where I fit into all of it; one day I'll see the light at the end of the tunnel. For now... I write because if I spoke, the words might be lost
