the echos are rattling my ribcage
I'm trying to find my beat
have you seen it?

read rinse repeat
read rinse repeat
read rinse repeat

filled to the brim
with disaster

'watch out for that girls beat
she's a walking talking time bomb'
you'd just love to light the fuse
and watch the peices fly
red mist

careful not to get too close
my soul is a sponge
I might just soak you up
till you're nothing
you'd love to be the indent on the bed
you'd love to be nothing
if I were you
I'd rather flirt with infinity

hey,
I'm just trying to breathe
in a world without oxygen
I'm just a mute
trying to speak

I'm just trying to find my beat
have you seen it?

you were never supposed to become your words

I really need to start commenting on more peoples poems.
I'm sorry,
I'm trying to catch up on that.

This was really good. I once knew someone exactly like that. Although, if they're true, don't you have to be your words? What else can you be? Poetry has to be more than just somebody thinking out loud, don't you think? Inside one's poems can be a really scary place to be. It's often where you meet yourself face to face. I'll look for more of yours.

Loved this. All of it.
