This past month has been one big Roller coaster. On top of having a wicked headache for the past 2 weeks, I have been feeling the quarantine blues. This feeling of emptiness, sadness, and lack of drive made me feel helpless. Something that did make me feel exponentially worst was someone I had..have.., I don’t know anymore, played a joke where they blocked me. Normally this is the kind of trolling they would do ( although they never actually did it) so the fact I was actually blocked and I was down in the dumps lead me to believe that I actually offended them or bothered them. So it was during this time that I wrote this poem having also recently watched Hamilton I found it a better way to clear my mind of what I was feeling. Obviously, I learned it was a joke the next day, but something I realized is there is never usually an apology after a joke backfires. Part of me thinks they might have legitimately have forgotten the about the joke, but the other part of me thinks its a scapegoat. So them why? do they care do they not? they do not really communicate, they live in a different state, and they work long hours plus I barely know them…why do I care so much about this person that I have sent them gifts and spend hours watching movies every so often with them? Is it all in my head, I think it is in my head, then why do I care?? I don’t even know what they sound like! I have a picture but what if its a lie??

I do not understand how or why I put so much gravity in these situations, but on top of this working long hours staring at a screen, nursing a headache, and even thinking about quitting I am at my wits end.

Here is a poem i wrote for them..enjoy

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Why

Why?

Why?

Why?

Tell me why, [ pause] why you started saying hi?

my heart skips a beat make me wanna fly (fly)

This feeling inside

I try to deny

I cannot lie

I feel compromised

An yet I don’t even know the look in your eyes

All the good time

Is this a joke? Am I a joke?! H I

Sitting there messaging you

Not really knowing who I’m talking to

But I don’t care

My heart, my spirit, fly high in the air

Only to crash down

Emotions locked out

My mind in a state of frustration and anguish

I barely know who you are..Why why do I feel this?

What am I like this?

Hi

At night darkness surround

My brain confounds

Thoughts wander without bounds

Lost ..hoping to be found

Estrange sounds

Music plays

Is that Nero fiddling by the Flames?

Oh, it was just a joke?? I should feel ashamed

And yet deep down

Sadness and disparity

Create such wonderful matrimony

The sweet sounds of this cacophony

Echo’s in my head to bury me

Like Church bells ringing, Sanctuary

please lay me under a tree…

Why do I put so much weight?

To convers-ate

It this so sick tempting fate

That we can relate

But I still can’t shake

The giving tree, of the snake

That holds the answers in apple I should take

Please sir Isaac Newton deliberate

The gravity of this feeling I insinuate

sadness, pain, worry, and longing I wish to eliminate

all the care I put only adds to this heavy state

From laughing at gifs and memes

To Messages of good night sweet dreams

Stop

I don’t know you

Why do I care?

Do like what I cannot have

Or ignore the pain and torture to be fix by a healing Salve?

Sitting reading your messages line by line

Was I right to be kind?

Sending snacks and plushies that one time

And a couple games after green hell backfired

when you get home, your message

I’m tired

Am I angry? No

Sad? A little

Knowing you work for hours and hour tireless

Inspires me

Compassionately

Ease your mind and relax with me

Playing games —I’m bad—

Movies –wow that was so sad—

Reminding you not to forget..forget.. to eat — well said—

Not going to lie sometimes I wish I could cuddle with you in bed

And you could give me what the heck?!

Ha I’m playing, I’m messing with you

Just having some fun so I’m not bored too

But all the pain I felt when I was blocked was true

Why do I care so much about you?

 To summarize

I don’t know why

hi

hi

why

its not fair because I actually do care
