I was laying on the ground humming songs with no meaning
the heat from the sun made me feel like I was dreaming
closing my eyes somehow impaired my hearing
But I could feel everything
The damp grass, the breeze;
And the flowers I was crushing smelled sweet...
Someone told me they were weeds
Beautiful things arnt always wanted?
The wind was telling me secrets that I tried so hard to remember
My body and my brain wernt working together.
I wondered if I'd be okay...
If I wanted to be okay?
My stomach was turning and I could feel the world spinning and I wanted everything to just
Stop.
I stared at the sun till all i could see was white
My favorite color is blue so I started to cry
Rivers flowed down my cheeks, you always thought I'd drown but I got so good at swimming from always being tossed in the sea
I loved the ocean but never went out to deep
It wasnt because I was scared I just always want something solid
under my feet

"Someone told me they were weeds

This was awesome. really. and the whole "wind telling me secrets". Sometimes it feels like I get random perceptions of reality and I try to grasp at them before they're too far from my reach.
The only thing that disappointed me was the first half of the last stanza. it just seemed a tad cliche'd to me. :/

Very strong and emotive, I felt as if I were you there laying on the grass, just feeling the earth beneath me for comfort, just shutting my eyes and really feeling the world go by.
