♢

i know you feel this more often than not

perhaps once a day

when you sit and observe

you feel out of place

a sense of lostness

a sense of bereavement

-

its like something almost said from your lips

a hyphen

a pause

you can almost pinpoint it

to answer the what when and why

-

most days you choose to distract yourself

to talk

to sing

to do things

anything

just to get away

but its always there

following

just like a shadow

following you

ready to feast on your festivities

-

i know you can hardly breathe sometimes

without feeling chocked to your neck

but i implore you to not resist this feeling

it cant hold you back more than you let it

-

it does stay

this feeling

but

it doesnt have to be more than that

it can stay

and watch

and be

without destroying you

-

let it

let it be

you dont have to know why

or why not

or how long

or how come

-

just let it be

-

its just a feeling

dont empower it more than that
