Smaller

I see the world through a screen The lines cut everything into little squares If I get far enough away I can hardly tell But when I am up closer it all gets clear Nothing is connected everything is alone The lines are there because I drew them The separation protects my fragile self The little squares make everything smaller The tiny people are smaller than me I am not afraid of all the small things I cannot live the whole world all at once Too much everything and all the chaos Reality would flood my soul and drown me My mind likes the order of the little squares Let me be in my little world of little nothings
