why does nothing make sense??
why does everybody leave??
maybe it's because i let them go so easily,
and everyone says there is a reason,
that they were here to teach me something. but i haven't found a single answer.
i hear your mother died of cancer, and his brother lost at sea. another car crash screams disaster, your cousin a pile of debris.
and these images make me shiver, but at the same time
i am not sure that they make me feel much of anything.
maybe i only feel something because i'm supposed to.
so far, my life has been lacking in tragedy.
and i know i should feel grateful, but instead I'm only waiting.
no one has left me in the way that a thunderstorm does, they only show up less and less until they turn to dust.
and maybe i am angry at the people who have stayed with me, because i expect them one day to go.
or maybe i just don't think they're good enough, and that's selfish and i know
i don't really mean it. i'm just scared and i'm always alone. and i know that i don't have to feel this way, i guess it's just the way that i chose.
i'm angry because it's stupid i just don't know how to stop. i think i'll end up another tragedy and that really takes a lot
of nerve to say. because i think of all the stories i'm told and i know it's not desirable, but i think it's how i'll go. i don't think i'll bring it upon myself unless i lose control
it's just this feeling that seeps in sometimes and it creeps down to my bones.
i see myself in nightmares and in the poems that i write, i see myself in all of them
but i choose to close my eyes
and now i'm sitting here on my bed again, i want to get the words down right
but it never makes sense. maybe it's the aching in my wrist or the heavy sadness in my chest,
but if all my life has been filled with shaking hands and quiet goodbyes
i am scared of what comes next.
