Hunt For A Smile

Burrfoot • 689 followers

I have awoken and all is not well
Gloomy weather or sinister blether I can not tell.
No magical feeling, the smile has been broken
A sense in my chest is gnawing and choking.

I'm going outside, I may be a while
I'm going to hunt for my usual smile.
With an over thinking mind I've been cursed,
Often the outcome is thinking the worst.

Paranoia eats away at my gut,
I could be wrong, there's always a but.
Maybe I'll leave it, doubts controlled at last.
Maybe I wont and find out what happens when aspersions are cast.

Lost

Spiraling down. Tipping over the edge. Darkness descends. I'm lost in my head. I can't find the path. Where can it be. I need to find it. Before I find me. Hands out in front. Feeling my way.

Fear(2)

Some sadly fear their life. Confusion from wrong and right. Stuck in a rut they just can't decide. Worry keeps them awake at night. Some sadly fear from love. Loneliness from not having enough.

I Am Not The Quiet Girl

I may seem quiet to you. But I promise I'm not. I don't always talk, and I'm not always loud. But I promise I'm fun to be around. Once you get to know me. I try to be the best I can.

Sometimes memory is a curse. Forgetting or trying to really does help.

@Nom my mental carpet is bulging with what's been brushed under it, and when it's there it's rarely seen again.. It's just that I can be a stubborn git and sometimes don't lift up the corner and start sweeping quick enough 😜
