Figures

Sometimes I'm not myself


Sometimes,
I'm just a pair of eyes
behind glasses,
staring at the screen
at 12 a.m.

Sometimes,
I just sit,
and watch my fingers
bleed on the keys.

The music
just tumbles
through my ears.

When I look up,
and see the sleeping
figure next to me
I remember
that I'm a person,

not just a string of words,

not just my thoughts

not the time wasted







I'm so much more






and I'm just figuring myself out.
