You’re everywhere.
It’s nice, too.
Seeing you.
You’re like waterfalls
You fall where the cliff falls
And you’re like the pond skaters at the bottom
Skipping across the water because you're too light to sink
And dancing in the sunlight because its too easy to think
I like watching you dance,
and I like the cold sprinkles across my hot forehead
But I wish I could be there with you
Doing all those simple things you do
And I’d rather not be near you if not.
Because you're like caves
Dark and cold, you echo
And you're like the spiders inside
Crawling up my neck
My hands run everywhere to check
And you're like the snakes and the snails
You slither dry
You leave a trail
And I’d rather just stay home instead
And hate the you that’s in my head
I don’t like it outside
Because you are everywhere
And I can’t escape it
You’re the toxins in my air
But while I’m here alone I can hardly take it
Because you are the sunlight,
Not just the sun
And without you I can’t make it

- Comment from author about the poem: One of the quickest things I've ever written, just on a whim to capture what I've been feeling. I just watched an episode of a show that hit pretty close to home, but I guess it wasn't close enough, and I needed it to be, so I wrote this.
