Everything Is Mud - Tumblr Posts

Unused, decrepit, diseased little town

it's windy

coldness seeps into me

wrapping around my lungs

becoming a part of me.

Barren, abandoned looming

I remember how it was

how loud it was

booming, boss, irrational

it's quiet now.

I remember it.

The damage it caused.

Caused us.

it's stormy

rain falls onto me

stays on my skin, in my clothes,

becoming a part of me.

How quiet, how small, how healthy it is

it's no longer as scary as it was,

but the cold, the rain,

it became a part of me.

Tired

I'm always tired

Sleep eludes me

mocks me, makes me hurt

I am awake

dreams

scar, burn, haunt

I am awake

not for lack of trying

I need to rest

nightmares

often, clouded, haunt

I am awake

I hate sleeping

it's stupid

everything is mud

Dancing

I saw a raccoon dance with a squirrel.

it started and didn't stop until the forest was on fire

That's why I hate dancing

sure it's fun

but we need the forest.

I saw a turtle dance with a squirrel.

they danced so much that the river dried up.

That's why I hate dancing

It was like

I could almost smell the smoke again.

I knew both the sparrow and the fish

Were dancing with a squirrel.

That's why I was scared,

like I can smell the smoke again

Like I could no longer hear the lake.

They all danced so much

that our home is gone.

Stop dancing with squirrels.
