i guess i just have to go through it.

Entangled in

Bed sheets 

Thoughts 

Unspoken words

 

Words, that in some universe exist

Woven and threaded in a quilt.

But in mine, only half-done stitches

A tired seamstress 

          Rags.

 

It’ll be over before i can even understand what is happening.

 

Losing myself in so many numbers

Measured to fit a corset too tight 

But i want the air in my lungs to leave.

Sweet symphonies of suicide float on the scales

 

Penetrative 

Pornographic 

Pretty 

Porcelain 

Pictures 

Fill my mind.

 

Innocence lost willingly 

i think?

 

The ending so far away, so close 

Times will change,

Are changing 

 

Words lost in the tumult of teenagehood.


The author's comments:

This poem was born in a blur of a moment; feeling all my feelings all at once. When this poem spawned, it created something beautiful out of a time that was far from that. It's a peek into my inner world, and the certainty that all the "teenage tumult" will come to an end. But for now, i guess i just have to go through it.
