weeks that go on and on.
or at least seem to.
people.
all kinds of people.
insensitive.
joyful.
hurtful.
compassionate.
funny.
awkward.
they make up your life.
you just want to run.
run so fast that no one will notice.
notice that you’re not a stereotype.
you want to be more than that.
but at some point people will notice and care.
they’ll see a void of light around them. they’ll wonder where you are.
they’ll search the skies and the heavens.
the maps and the country.
just because they won’t believe it.
they’ll care so much it will hurt you.
and you’ll come back.
you’ll be so loved.
but only for a moment.
then like a repetitive cycle,
it'll go back to the way things were.
It always does.
they will hurt you.
they will love you.
a catch 22.
but that’s the way it has to be.
because we all live in this world together.
we’re not prisoners.
we are just filling the voids in people’s lives to keep them sane.
