(2013)
Passing Time I spend my days Falling through the glass That is our fragile world Chasing something
In my ear, Ana whispers And tells me just Be thinner, dear But I fear
Scars on legs And scars on arms Incisions on bodies And stitches for sealing Cuts and scrapes
My sudden bursts Of depression Are like a typhoon Flooding a small island Or a hurricane
Sitting on the bed And sometimes laying down The chill from the AC Is too uncomfortable I recoil from the breeze
Eyes are shifting Slowly sifting Through the darkness Of the scrying glass, Hours spent staring
You dance to the angels’ Song of life Completely unaware That God choreographed Your whole existence
Walking talking depression Who’s too big around the waist Saying you’re messed up But what I’ll never understand Is how you think that you’re
I want to be the one You tell your problems to, Because no one else seems to liste… I want to be the one Who understands you,
Ten times more They whisper hate And I wish they would stop Because of late I’ve seen these people
The air conditioner blows On high And the sound Reminds me of small monsters. A clattering starts
I walk through rivers, valleys, fo… Exploring all my thoughts Dreaming peacefully Things made up and memories Talking to friends and enemies
People walk Down the streets, Seeming happy As can be, Or maybe sad,
Sometimes I feel myself Willing to cry And sad over nothing I can remember That would make me upset
I’m like one of those people Who says that music is my soul Except it’s not Because music is meaningful And music drowns out noise
