journaling in cursive takes too long

my fingers are typing these words
my hands are holding my phone
my eyes are watching the letters
travel across the screen
like an ant

my mind is going

how am I to separate from it!
my purpose derives from the meaning of the words that leave my mouth.
how must I not think about them?

do you mean it when you say
you love the way I live?
do you mean it when you say
you like the way I love?

I'm not afraid of bugs
but sometimes I'm apprehensive
of what will walk across the page

I have to be art for you
that's all I'm good for
you want that

and so I don't know how to separate
from my mentality 
convince me it's okay
