sixteen - forest

maybe kinda sad. i'm sorry

-

me and josh didn't continue what i started. instead we put on a movie or two, ate pizza, cuddled, and fell asleep. id be a liar if i said i wasn't comforted. he was good at it, comforting that is. he really was. alas, i woke up before him the next morning.

i rubbed my eyes and looked around the room, not recognizing it as my own. i remembered soon where i was and picked up my phone, checking the time.

4:36 AM

i sighed, i was already awake now. i decided to slip off from the couch, careful not to wake josh. god, he looked so fucking cute in the dark, snuggled up and sleeping. i smiled before grabbing my jacket and my phone, and walking out.

i breathed in the scent of the great forest. its really nice out here. i began to hum a sweet little tune, coming with words to fit as i go.

"down in the forest.

we'll sing a chorus.

one that everybody knows.

hands held higher,

we'll be on fire,

singing songs that nobody wrote."

i began to work with that. i laid down on the grassy ground, looking at the trees, and started going on with it until i had a verse, a chorus, end, middle, a song. it was good, in my opinion. i started to sing it softly,

"I don't know why I feed on emotion.

There's a stomach inside my brain.

I don't wanna be heard,

I want to be listened to.

Does it bother anyone else

That someone else has your name?

Does it bother anyone else

That someone else has your name, your name?

I scream, you scream, we all scream,

'Cause we're terrified of what's around the corner.

We stay in place,

'Cause we don't want to lose our lives.

So let's think of something better.

Down in the forest,

We'll sing a chorus,

One that everybody knows.

Hands held higher,

We'll be on fire,

Singing songs that nobody wrote.

My brain has given up,

White flags are hoisted.

I took some food for thought,

It might be poisoned.

The stomach in my brain,

Throws up onto the page.

Does it bother anyone else

That someone else has your name?

Does it bother anyone else

That someone else has your name?

I scream, you scream, we all scream,
