Sometimes
Sometimes
By Benjamin Mui
Sometimes
The silence can grow louder
No
My heartbeat fills my head
The internal pounding resonating deeper
Now that everything has slowed down again
The flow of thoughts runs steadily on
The rhythms matching closely to the early morning birds
Who failed to realize not everyone beats the sun out of bed
…wish I could talk with them
Sometimes
I hate myself
No
I hate the way I think
The way I have to fall out of love with love
The way I have to feel happy about being sad
The way I have nothing yet am losing everything
The more I think about it the more confusing it gets
…it can get tiring
Sometimes
The world feels small
No
My world feels small
Like there was an impassable void surrounding me
That forms and blips out of existence at random
Like an uncontrollable shadow were cast over me
A flash flood of intense sadness and loneliness
Realizing that it might “just be me”
…it’s gone now
…it’ll come back later
…maybe I’ll write then
