i'm waking up my mind

i'm just trying to kill the silence
it's not like i'm whining
i've just been doing a lot of pining
and it just hasn't been the same since

i want to speak but there's an ocean
which sits between us
it feels like i've been struck by a bus
my chest constricts, pain radiates in my shins

i try to be happy but it's hard sometimes
because i cannot control myself at points
your voice is what anoints
my presence with light and fire, sublime

hope is everywhere, we just have to find it
i don't know what's going on in your head
it already feels as if i'm, sometimes, dead instead
but i've alive, and i hope you don't mind it
