shattered art

there's so much I wanna say...

but I don't know where to start.

time keeps passing on me so fast
and there's so much to do that
I don't wanna eat and
I can't quite find the time to sleep -
I confess I haven't been feeling much like me,
as of recently -
and there's so many things I have to heal...

but I don't know where to start.

write another page when I've got at least
another thirteen
left on my heart -
there's not so much time
and sometimes it feels like falling apart,
so I just skip another meal -
either way there's not much of an appeal
and I refuse to believe
it's really all just 'cause of me...

and this may sound
like it's just for the dramaturgy,
and it might well be -
but I always found tragic much more genuine;

yet I try my best to process,

I just don't know where to start -

but I guess at least that makes for pathetically written poetry,

another piece of shattered art.

about the worse, darker times in life (don't you worry about me though!) <3

annotation:
and I refuse to believe it's really all just 'cause of me" ~ can be read as either one or two sentences and I just love how it twists the whole meaning so much, yet how both ways are equally accurate :))

references:
1 the line "there's so much I wanna say, but I don't know where to start" is from the 2014 movie 'I believe in unicorns' - such a good movie and so inspiring!! (don't be fooled by the title)

xo, S🌹❤️
