What's on your mind?



Nothing much,
(everything everything

so many things, all the things

the voting age should be older

my math class is hard

i have a story idea and it's eating at my brain

sometimes i wish i was a boy

i hate allergies and my throat hurts

i have a headache, and i don't know why

there were too many people at lunch today

why can't i be normal

where does wind come from

the sun is fucking awesome

i think my plants are growing

why do we forgive atrocities committed with holy water

i know the meaning of life and it scares me

i'm alone but not lonely

somethings fundamentally wrong with my brain

im spiraling and i dont know why and im scared

im going to fail and fail and fail

i have so many ideas and they HURT

my brain HURTS from everything inside of it

all of these stories and they wont go away

it HURTS but what can i do

i cant tell you this because i have no words

my thoughts cant fall neatly into the confines of language

everything sucks and i hate it but what can i do

i want to read but i cant and that makes me mad

i love love love reading but i cant and im furious

one day ill finally be alone

good or bad?

everything HURTS and i cant do anything

im scared of the world im inheriting

im scared of you but i dont know why

people are mad at me and i dont know why

i dont KNOW and im SCARED

im TERRIFIED that i dont KNOW

im scared im scared im scared im scared
