if you fall in love with a writer, you can never die


I feel like im in a box and im suffocating ...

The funny part is.. The box is open ..

so suffocating would be impossible..

i can hear everything still ,

the box wasn't sound proof to begin with.

Im still aware of the outside world..

I hear the crying..

The most faint noises when the tears hit the floor..

The force of contact from someone's hand to another persons skin.

I hear the words.. All the words,

the good, the bad.. The grateful and the hateful.

i feel the tension between two people that love each other..

But would rather be physical than communicate..

I feel the footsteps of little feet..Sizes ranging from kids 3-9...

I feel the anger rising up as if it were heat..

I feel as if i'm a box .. I know i can get out ..

I just don't know how,

So all i do is observe..

Listen ..

Feel..

And become fully aware.

Make as many as mistakes as you want, just don't make the same mistake.
