When everything around me has gone and been silenced, my head is loud and seems to be spinning. Laying here, walking there, sitting in there…I can’t get away. I wish you’d stop…I wish you’d leave me alone for just one day. Let me be, let my dreams come to me in peace…all of this pressure, you bring such bad energy and I want it away. Why do you wish to destroy me? Why do you choose me? Then again…so many others who say the same thing, have learned to change the color of their mood rings. Mine, I don’t even wear it anymore, I thought it was broken; it was always the same color as the sea floor. I wish I could speak the words “Since you’ve been gone” but you haven’t, so I can’t, yet I thank you, this is my chance. You’re always lingering, near or far, you’ll always be back like a drunk at a bar…this time around, I embrace you and accept your motives, because what you do to me is beautiful, the most uplifting, by far. You see, without you I wouldn’t know how to be…happy, optimistic, and free. For so long you’ve kept me bonded. You filled my head with unhappy thoughts and a day of release you made me believe that I’d never see. It came, so I thank you, because you were there, sitting right next to me.
