Literary Limbo

Summary:

An old poem-thing I wrote in my freshman year of high school. I found it in an old notebook and unlike most things I made during that time of my life, I'm really happy with it. Thought it was worth putting out there. :)

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

drifting, floating
from your mouth into the skies
creating imagery of the earth or someone's eyes

twisting, shifting
speaking of demise
uncovering lies, spys, surprise that she dies

these words are who I am and they shape before me
opening my mind, breaking blinds
so that I can see

they show me a key to a world of beauty
I cannot let it be
words are melding, forming

it's something that I want for me
it's something that I want to be

how can I prove that i'm bold enough to let you see?

I could be more
I could unlock that door

but how could I

when my key is only imagery..

Notes:

I spend 99.9% of my life in a world of fantasy. I bury myself in fiction and imagination to hide from reality (which is icky) I live in books and literature and I spin the words that I read and write into my personal safe space.

In the end though, I'm still stuck here on earth. This poem is the general feel I get from that way of living.

Things start off slow and sweet and ideal, then quickly grow into a crescendo of 'hey that's cool but I can't have it and that sucks lol'
