some say that you've deleted your friends
others say that you're just being crazy
you get home and collapse into a heap
has the universe always been this lazy
reading so many so many books
and you're smiling even though it hurts
a bit of drool at the corner of your lips
it tastes of tears and unfinished words
the neighbours say you fall asleep quietly
forgetting you have to put on clothes
when no one's watching you dance
let yourself unleash the wolves
clawing at your thighs with nails
it’s hard to explain why you itch
secretly romanticizing the moon
staring so long - you start to twitch
they say that you’re a bit muffled
that you take care to breathe quietly
a moving blur that doesn’t disturb
a ghost moving through life politely
you're drinking coffee from tea cups
chewing gum while you take a shower
they see you cry when at the bus stop
kicking and stomping at the flowers
lingering teenage angst and anger
yet you've successfully tricked them all
into thinking that everything's all fine
you've nearly convinced yourself as well
someone said that you care too much
that you love hard and feel fiercely
didn't know feelings could be so fierce
or how hard it is to love unconditionally
