Time Travel
leave the world behind.
be
in a new dimension;
in another time.
create your own reality—
how desperate i want
to escape mine.
forget.
i confuse anger
with jealousy.
my feelings cloud my mind.
forget.
i thought i was fine.
content and satisfied.
what’s enough, anymore?
forget.
i’m trapped in the past.
stop haunting my dreams.
get out of my head!
forget.
i am the same person.
only yearning to go
to a new place, to new people.
forget.
i wish to be alone in my thoughts,
but i don’t like to be lonely.
get out of my head!
forget.
starved with unrelenting
desires,
what’s enough, anymore?
forget.
unwelcome in my heart,
so why still here?
my feelings cloud my mind.
forget.
how ironic.
life won’t wait for me
to escape mine.
forget.
but no matter how hard
i plead and cry, i just can’t.
maybe, just maybe—
in another time.

I wrote this with my past in mind. There are plenty of emotions that flood my head when I think of the past, be it the bittersweet, the painful, or the overall nostalgic feeling. And this is about how sometimes I'd rather feel numb than to have these memories resurface and feel the sadness behind each story.
