i tried to tell you how i felt about the universe

how i was overcome with the immensity of it

how i would wake up in the morning

with a vacuum between my heart and my gut

an empty space where my bravery should be

 

what is my motivation for this scene?

you are afraid

what am i afraid of?

of your own power

i don’t understand

don’t you believe in infinity?

 

sometimes i dream that i meet famous people

but just before i reach them

i start floating away

my stomach stays on the floor

but my body and mind just leave

in the dream we laugh about it

try to tie me down to a table like a balloon

but when i wake i am crying

 

i am floating away

please believe me

 

each day the layers of mist on the glass get thicker

its hard to see my face

i look like a pink blur

an equation of flesh and bone

 

i am floating away

please believe me
