Nothing More, Nothing Less

A Poem by TheHeartOfLife

A poem I made out of boredom-ness.

I hardly felt nothing

My mind was blank, my mind was empty

I heard nothing but authentic silence

I heard my blood streaming through my veins

My bones were becoming fragile

I felt so worn out, tattered and tired

This mental world can't even touch me

This place I live in was huge

it made me feel like an atom

Looking at the window, I saw the stars

They exhibit majesty as I made a constellation out of them

Then suddenly, I wanted to creep out of my skin

But some things were pulling me back

This I realized, I've burned out so much time

I heard mouths that speak words so false

Others faded away, others changed, some remained

With each breath, my chest rises then falls

Heart grows delicate and sickly with every beat

As I put my head down, I reminisced

This pillow of clouds, made me fall asleep

In deep silence, I collapse

Not in the world of dreams, but reality

Some things changed, just like seasons

Anyone who walks past you, leaves a big distinction

I've lost friends then made new ones

Lost my mind, then found it again

I looked back upon those days when I was young

When I had nothing to worry about

Memories were flashing back

Then I missed the way things used to be

But who cares, I'm living in the present

I guess this is really growing up

This is getting older, this is human nature

This is living, this is life

Nothing more, nothing less.

Author's Note

I think the lines were a bit confusing? I don't know. The only thing I want to say is how things are supersonic-ally changing each passing day (Well not only the 'things' but also the people in your life). That's it.

Anyways, Feel free to correct any mistakes on this poem. I'd appreciate it. :)
