A Poem by EVERYTHINGyoucantelltoSTRANGERS
"

an observation on a couple of things... *and a person, i guess*

"

faster gait

such a lively pace

it almost feels like

you're alive again

there's a shine to your eyes

and less of a dulling

there's emotion in your voice

maybe you don't look like crying

 

has life turned around

or have you finally lost it

a backwards spiral

you can't help  but desire

addictions a b***h

breakfast traditionally set on fire

 

times like these

and no one can help but wonder

is this a one time thing

can you hold out any longer?

you seem to be awake

I don't think I'm too loud

so you really do want to turn around

 

 

Why can't this just be a phase?

cause to be honest,

everyone

prefers you sober

not so sure about the ending... is it too rushed? or too stream of conscious?
