thoughts

I talk to the ceiling

It listens better than you

My thoughts are loud

But my voice stays low

I smile in mirrors

Just to practice the lie

Say I’m okay

Like I don’t feel the time

Don’t touch my silence

It’s the only thing mine

I’m drowning in questions

But I’m doing just fine

Everybody wants me open

But I’m locked from the inside

If you read my mind

You’d wish you were blind

I’m not broken

I’m just bent out of shape

Learned how to breathe

While holding my weight

If I disappear for a moment

Don’t panic, don’t cry

I’m just learning

How to stay alive
