take your thoughts
stuff them into a non thing
the thoughts
and the nothingness
breathed in
and out
expelled to travel
permeate fabrics
cling to skin
it could all be so wonderful
but for the toxicity
I'll take the option
not to think
not to breathe
yet ticker taping across my mind is
'this is not a thing'
you can't catch the travelling letters
so like the damaging thoughts
that sail through
almost gliding
not at all causing alarm until :thought:
back to breathing
it wasn't optional after all
if I am not my thoughts
don't control my breath
what does compel me?
draws to suspend disbelief
coaxes into the ways of things
drop it all
let it fall to the ground
listen for the crash of the real/reel
or the silence of the false storm
maybe forget these words
see the pipe
order one
in a reality of the tangible
it is the shinier option
after all
