all i ever asked for was a break from this insanity. a moment of respite from all the images throbbing in my head. i want to not be afraid of tomorrow, to not have to take it one day at a time. i want all the lonely people to stay silent enough for long enough to hear the same child crying.
if i could spell out the letters that f r u s t r a y s h u n is made of, i would tie one end of a shoelace to the neck of a guitar and the other to my own.
if i could paint a picture of the world, i would throw a bucket of onyx paint on a canvas and then wipe out rainbow colored patches with my palms and soles.
if i could say everything i ever wanted, i wouldn't know where to start, so i'd stay quiet for all eternity.
if i could look at you and see your story, i would hold on to you and tell you that people die sometimes, and all we can really hold on to are those who survive.
if i could be everything i wanted, i would be an explosion that everyone could hear. everyone.
if i could do anything i wanted to,
i would walk to the core of the earth in a white dress
and feel no gravity
and sleep.
the world is quiet here.

that's kind of awkward sounding with the repetition of 'enough'
otherwise, it's a beautiful idea.
and then the repetition of 'if I could' is briliant. it affects me so much, in that I wish many of the same things.
especially this last one:
if i could do anything i wanted to,
i would walk to the core of the earth in a white dress
and feel no gravity
and sleep.
