as sick

-

 

I get it because I do it too

drop to the ground and yell at the sky

dig my nails in my own skin

just like you, I also cry

we both don’t feel understood

after having said everything, we could

you know they need you to pretend you’re okay

but just like me, you cannot lie

we both don’t belong, a misfit

I believe you when you say you try

your heart is as breakable as mine

I’m just on the other side of the same coin

we have two different hearts, with the same heartbeat

I keep writing and then I delete

“I’m as sick as the ones I treat”

my name II

  “I’m sorry, I did it again, I didn’t think” exactly my point I mentioned you in conversations that had nothing to do with you I manufactured a link when I didn’t think, I shimmied when I saw you a hundredth time, with a joy so new I couldn’t afford to blink when I didn’t think, I told them I’ll call them later until it was too late for you, I made all of them wait eyes on you, the world could die when I didn’t think, I sat right next to you hands held together by an imaginary glue I sipped from your drink when I didn’t think, I held you and danced slow I copied your “though” I loved you and I wanted to show I filled your heart up to the brink when I didn’t think, I think we speak from our heart when not thinking with our brain which is why I always begun with yours and you always concluded with my name -maithili

arms that can carry me a heart that can carry my intensity a mind willing to quiet down and understand a palm that wants to feel my hand a pair of eyes that follow my silhouette I’ll take no less than what I offer It’s a simple plan, give your lover girl her lover man a man that reads my poetry like a Muslim his salah like a scholar his literature a priest his scripture I’ll take some insanity since love can’t survive in people too wise I’ll take some innocence the kind that brings tears to your eyes a love I don’t have to beg for a love that’s first nature I want a man that knows my writing like a Muslim his salah like a scholar his literature -maithili

downside

 I'm a calamity I'm afraid of my thoughts a chaos  I run from rumination but I can't seem to leave it behind  so intelligent I lose my mind what music can't tame I'm up against my brain  I give it information to consume when I don't, it consumes me instead I think more than what's been said then I open the DSM hoping it would answer my what, why and when I try one book after another  and nothing has been said about what's it like inside my head It's a battle I dread I'm up against my head I run and I run But how do you run from what's inside  imagine intelligence having a downside -maithili
