break

maybe we can catch our break in the clouds
fly away and join the drifting vapour
we'll leave the sticks and stones and dirt

or we might find it in the ocean
swim in aquamarine and turquoise
float away from the pain and earth

perhaps we'll find it amongst the stars
go home and return to the stardust inside
playing solataire with the man on the moon

but we can only break on the earth
shatter into glass across the wood floors
dreaming of the sky and sea and stars

hoping we will someday return home in smoke

i feel like i dont belong a lot i guess
like, i feel like smoke and steam but everything and everyone else is solid
sometimes i try to touch the walls and feel so genuinely surprised when my hands dont just go through
ive always felt like im stardust and water vapour and that one day ill just evaporate into nothingness
this is very irrelevant
im in a Mood™️
