burnin daylight

HomePoetryburnin daylight

sweet fuckin chaos
hittin in sugar rush style
heart skippin
sprintin
draggin me by the throat
thru every goddamn beat

I’m buzzin
wired
burstin at the seams
every thought wearin angel wings
tellin me
come on let’s fly
like they’ve forgotten
how fast I crater

holy shit
holy hell
holy breakage
holy mother fuckin wreck
and there I go again
thinkin maybe this time
the fall won’t catch me

laugh too loud
love too hard
burn too damn bright
run my mouth at full throttle
sentences rattlin loose
my brain tryin to keep up
with all the dumbass shit
spillin out from behind my teeth
jesus shut up
can’t shut the fuck up

I’m paces ahead of myself
jaw tight
brain flickerin
wantin shit I can’t hold
and tryin to stop reachin for it

and when the world fuckin tilts
and I tilt with it
I swear I can feel starlight
pressin into my ribs
like it’s tryin to break in
and save me
recreate me
or take me
never sure which

holy shit
holy hell
holy breakage
holy goddamn mess
I keep makin of myself
every time I start to feel alive
the rush hits
the floor drops
my pulse forgets how to behave
and I’m left tryin to wrestle the spark
without lettin it swallow me whole

holy shit
holy hell
holy breakage
holy balls to the fuckin wall whiplash
I know I’m runnin too hot
burnin too close
givin the fire
my whole goddamn chest
lettin it burn me alive
but fuck it
at least I’ll go out lit

      Powerfully penned, 253. Excellent write my friend. I can relate, the verse above resonates with me deeply. Probably because I’m a person who paces rather it be literally or in the mind when dealing with things. Sometimes I do both at the same time. Nicely done. Appreciate you.
