Midnight Mutes the Chiming
Midnight Mutes the Chiming
There’s nothing here
I’m surrounded by things and people
and entertainment that never ends
but there’s nothing here
My mind is empty
filled to the brim with stories
and movies and interesting facts
and I could pull from it and show you everything
but my mind is empty
There’s nobody near
they’re all around laughing and joking
and they’re waiting for me to say something
and I can interact with them
but there’s nobody near
My mind is a screaming silence
ideas bouncing through again and again
my room is filled with useless ****
but i keep buying and buying
my life is a world of loneliness
and all I have to do is reach out
But I can’t
I can’t reach out and
they don’t understand
They say its an easy fix
Just do it.
Just be someone you’re not.
But I’m already doing that.
They’re all strangers to me
and they think they know me,
how to fix me.
But I’m a broken clock
and I keep bouncing between seconds
I’m fine I’m not I’m fine
I’m not.
