floating (Free verse) by tre
I've lost myself again
I've fallen into my head
I'm floating
along a string of thoughts
story after story, I make-up my own endings
I go where I wanna go
Escaping
my body, my shackles, my guilt
for wanting the other guy
Escaping
my inability to please
myself
Escaping
the unfortunate knowledge of knowing
there's not enough money
Escaping
my stress, my insecurities, my lonliness
I don't want your arms around me no more
I keep my eyes towards the sky
Waiting to be pulled up
out of it all
Suddenly
the gate closes
He's here to pick me up
I close my journal, take off my headphones
and pretend I want to take his hand
out into a world I don't understand.
A world I'm floating in.
